check an online parts dealer and see if they are the same part number, if they are you will be fine, i dont remember if they are the same or not off hand.

most likely your car has abs if not the rotors will still work if they r ment for your modle if not they probably won't work the only difference in a abs rotor and a normal is the there r little slits on the underside that r read by the abs sensor that tells the caliper oooo the brakes have locked and then frees them up again

Incorrect, the 240sx does not use external tone rings for the ABS wheels speed sensors. First of all, is this a 5 lug or 4 lug 95? Cause they had both. I have a 95 and its a nightmare to find parts for it cause they are frankensteins made from half leftover S13 parts and half new S14 parts, and most parts stores' listings don't go in depth enough to sort out all the subtleties.

I thought you were sure it didn't have abs. But just to be sure, open the hood and look in the upper left (your left, the car's right, technically) corner of the engine bay. On an abs car theres a light gold colored valve body assembly with a bunch of brake lines going to it and two bleeder screws on top, on a non abs car theres just an empty spot lol.
