Eh, what? Where the hell have you been? It's been done many times, and the rotors are Hub-Centric. So that means you can even drill the holes for the studs even bigger than they need to be, and you will still be ok since it centers on the hub.

Man, I love you to death WC, but damn you need to put forth some effort sometimes.. lol

Stock rotors? As in Stock S13/14 rotors compared to Z32 rotors?Thickness, and diameter. Both of which help absorb heat and keep the brakes from fading.With stock pads and rotors on the Z32 calipers, you can give about 80% effort, and lock the brakes up with stock'ish sized tires.You can still lock up a 275/40/17 on the front of an S13 with Z32 brakes. It just depends on how far you want to go.I consider the Q45 brakes a very streetable upgrade to stockers. And you don't have to mess with wheel clearance.Man I'm toast tonight. Please correct me if I say something wrong.

Just buy Brembo blanks, redrill them yourself (which is what I did) or take them to a machine shop to have it done.

It's not hard, just use some common sense.

Does no one research/think BEFORE buying parts?

how about price? thats an advantage. You won't find much differences in feeling or performance between the two, especially in daily driving/ spirited driving. He's not driving a GT car
