ive been lookin around to see what i can find for 2 piston calipers, but just about everything requires 5 lug conversions. it would be cool but time and money isnt something i have alot of at the moment.. i was wondering if there is any 2 piston calipers (all 4 brakes) that i could find that would just bolt up to the stock s13 bracket with out spending ungodly amounts of money.. i realize that ebrake and brake lines might need a little modifications, but those arent big deals..

if anyone knows of something please help

I have the 1996 v8 Q45 front brake (2 piston) setup. They're a direct fit and bolt up with no problems. The only thing is, the dust shield has to be removedor cut. This has to be done to allow the larger Q45 rotor to fit. Ebay has a redrilled or manufactured 4 hole rotor or you can have a machine shop redrill theQ45 rotor. It doesn't cost much, nor work to get them to fit. That's the basic andeasiest way to go.
