Today i've tried to mount my '97 Q45 Brake Clipers On To My S14...but SURPRISE...the mounting holes on the spindle are smaller then the Q's ones....(the hole where you bolt the cliper to the spindle..the Q45 are BIGGER then the S14's)....

so can i drill them to fit or should i look a other options...

Thanks guys

Ali

i just did a quick search on google, and all the links that i clicked on said to use 90-96 calipers, so me thinks that maybe you got the wrong year calipers.

Dont laugh. Someone else did this...Are you using the Q's bracket/carrier?

I know the Y33 brakes are different, but I thought they'd still bolt on.
