i'm hoping that one of you q45 guys can give me a hand. im piecing together everything i need to put q45 brakes on my s13. i bought teh calipers brand new so i knew they'd be in good shape but they dont come with the brackets that secure them to the rotors. i bought the brackets from a guy but the rubber seals and inserts that the 2 bolts go through are completely destroyed. these parts arent included in rebuild kits so i want to know if there's anywhere else to get these. i really dont want to by the caliper brackets again but i cant find the seals and inserts anywhere. i would appreciate any help. thank you very much.

Call infintipartsusa 888.216.5328 and ask. I just bought the rebuild kit myself because one of those pins was rusted frozen on my 98 Q45 and I destroyed the rubber boot working it out. I dont know if you can just buy one or all four or what but I do know they have them.

^damn i kinda wish i knew that before i called infinitipartsusa. they said the parts i need are part of the front rebuild kit. i ordered the kits that way if i ever need the rest of the rebuild parts i'd have em on hand. if for some reason he misunderstood and they dont come in the kits i'll just return them and get the napa ones. infinitipartsusa was incredibly nice and helpful, thanks for recommending them

No you don't!

NAPA and other aftermarket retailers often use cheap CHinese sourced substandard parts.

Much better off with OEM 99% of the time.

China has become expensive:http://chinhdangvu.blogspot.co....html

Cheap Chinese goods, try cheap Vietnamese goods and auto parts.What happens when people learn.
