i just upgraded to q45 brake calipers and rotors. i noticed that the mounting bolts for the caliper bracket seemed to be too long so i used a few washers....but i was wondering if anyone had this problem or if the q45 used shorter bolts....any input would be greatly appreciated.

it's a 1996 base 240sx

i just did the swap as well, but the bolts were the same size iirc.......... i do have an s13 so idk if that makes a difference...

i did have to bend and grind of part of the dust shield to fit the rotors on, as well as the cailpers thou....

On the S13 using the stock Q45 caliper bolts it fit just fine and I did have to cut part of the dust shield to make it all fit.
