Is this front and rear calipers? And does it include rotors? Your description says one thing, but your pictures show something else. -Martin. ---

This is an excellent upgrade for 240sx, maybe not as flashy as other much more expensive brakes out there, but for sure as much effective. You can get them new with rotors for $400 USD from [FRSport.com](http://FRSport.com) and for extra $160 they’ll include Hawk pads and stainless lines --\>[http://www.frsport.com/Nissan-S13-S1…it\_p\_2201.html](http://www.frsport.com/Nissan-S13-S1...it_p_2201.html). Shipping to Canada should be no more than $80 and our authorities will ask you for some extra change when you pick it up, but hey - if you can afford it - go for it. ---

Is the Q45 upgrade done only in the front most of the time? Or do you have to swap both the front and rear? ---

You don’t really need to upgrade rear calipers when using Q45’s in the front to have well ballanced front/rear brakes, that’s why Nismo recommended these as an upgrade for 180/240sx. Most people also don’t realize that because of Q45 sliding caliper design there is more room for lower offset - deeper dish rims in the front than when using z32 fixed calipers.
