Q45 brake upgrade with 15's?

[fluidmotion]

Just wondering whether or not 15 inch rims would be big enough with Q45 Brakes? Might get some 15 inch rims with winter tires and wanted to make sure before I bought them.

q45's clear everything, but you'd know that if you searched, so some reaserch man, its been covered a whole lotta times, good luck with the swap

I've upgraded to Q45s and still found them inadequite for aggressive street driving. Certainly not suitable for auto X.

I'm running the aluminum twin turbo 30mm Z32 brakes up front on my s14 which is heavier than the s13 and it's very responsive, 0 brake fade. It'll put a whole new feel on the way your car's capable of handling since you'll probably be braking later in the game.

I've got 1 pair left if you're looking to upgrade your set beyond the 45's, otherwise, good luck with ur swap man.

Oh yah, the z32 swap won't work with the average offset 15" wheels come in. I could be wrong but a great rule of thumb is the alloy SE wheels on the S13. The 30mm Z brakes clear those. (As long as you're not wearing coilovers)

What kind of pads wereyou running?

I often wonder what it is some guys expect from run of the mill brake pads.Get an aggressive brake pad but be advised they make noise, and they are most effective when at operating temperature.Also, putting in new pads and then driving an event is no way to get proper material transfer and ideal seating.

Don't be so quick to judge a pad until you've broken them in over time.
