Was something changed on mine or am I just out of the loop. Does your vert have ABS brakes? No ABS but ABS brakes.

No. All verts have strandard brakes.

HOWEVER - they use the larger ABS rotors and booster.

I have abs calipers on mine. Because the smaller brake pads don't fit. Had to go to the store and get abs pads. The pads I had was an extra set that I had for my hatchback.

Right, they don't have the ABS mechanism, but they do use ABS sized calipers and rotors.

Search noob!

The 'verts have ABS parts on the fronts.. ABS calipers, ABS rotors, ABS pads. The ABS parts are slightly larger and more powerful in order to handle the little extra weight that the 'vert carries. However.. we didn't get the ABS actuator system.. so we don't have ABS brakes.. just ABS brake parts.. and just in the front of the car.

To elaborate though, the rears are all the same on all the S13s, ABS or not.

I did search of course. Yes I know the rears are the same. Maybe I didn't click archived when searching.

It's worth changing to '90 - '96 Infiniti Q45 front brakes. About the same stopping power, cheaper, fewer clearance issues.
