i'm looking for brake pads for a Silvia Q. from what i understand the rear pads are same as the 240sx. not sure which pads fit the front calipers. i've heard everything from a altma to stock 240sx pad. any ideas?

theres no crossover part for the front, you can either replace the fronts w/pads from japan or replace the calipers

I'm sure they can get it, but it's also probably expensive. I'm going to be upgrading the calipers/pads to something domestic, most likely the 300ZX Z32 calipers.

i've been doing a bit of research on silvia front braking system. from what i read the STOCK Silvia Q front calipers share the same pads as the north american 240sx. the STOCK silvia K front calipers/rotors are different. SR20 silvia K front brakes share the same pads as the mid 90's altima/maxima. ca18det silvia k front brakes are different as well. not sure which pads they interchange with. confusing as hell but took a ton of time to get this info.

With that siad on my silvia Q, it has a set of brand new project Mu front brake pads so i won't be changing them for awhile. when i do i will probably upgrade to maxima/altima calipers/rotors.
