Hey nico! I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I have a set of front brakes that came off my 98 s14 kouki front clip, they are the four piston calipers ones and I was wondering if they are the same as the z32 front calipers. Basically why I'm asking is because I want to swap over the front brakes from my front clip along with the five lug that it came with, but I'm not sure if i ordered steel braided lines for z32 front calipers if they would fit the same thread size and pitch as the s14 front calipers. If anyone has any experience with jdm s14 front calipers please any info would be great or if anyone can tell me if they are the same as the z32's that would be awesome as well.

Thanks in advance-Mike

From what i know, S14s came in single pot/ piston brake calipers. The previous owner probably replaced the stock brakes with the 4 pot/ piston brakes you have now, which is pretty sweet. Not sure if it pertains to ALL Z32, but i do know that Z32s came in a 2 pot/piston brake caliper. Not sure if a 4 pot/piston was an option, but Z33s came with a 4 pot/piston braking system as an option.

jdm s14, and s15, both had the 4 pot z32 calipers. yes they are the same thing as us spec z32 calipers. i have s15 calipers on mine. they use z32 pads, and z32 rotors. same exact caliper.

Uhh maybe you are talking about the rears.... all Z32 front calipers were 4 piston. The only difference was 26/30mm and steel vs aluminum.
