Will a Q45 caliper fit a stock s13 4 lug rotor?

Will a Q45 caliper fit a stock s13 4 lug rotor?Im thinking of doing a brake upgrade and dont want to redrill the rotors.

Thanks.

No...calipers must match the rotors.

Redrilling is quite easy...the rotor is centered by the hub, so accuracy of the wheels stud holes is not critical.

I am getting ready to do the q45 brake swap. I am going to be getting the new calipers, pads, and rotors from autozone. So on to the questions.

Why do the rotors have to be redrilled? Should I take it to a machine shop or can anyone do it? Should I get the parts for the same year Q45 as my 240?

Thanks in advance for any help. Steve

1.) Because the Q45 is 5 lug and an s13 is 4 lug2.) I would say machine shop to be safe3.) not really, just use the 95 or 96 year q45 or j30 brakes and you should be fine
