100% the same for the suspension components.

some of the american model 240sx s13's had the smaller brakes, so be careful in that regard.

99% of manual ca18det s13's in SA came out with the 280mm front discs!

That is still one of our biggest problems, bearing shops can't match it, the only obtion I know of is to compare the price of nissan against importing....

the most cost effective option is the 5 stud hub conversion.

its costs about 5 grand, but at only about 500 bucks more than the stealership price for bearings for all 4 corners, you also get the 5 stud as a bonus!!!

Stay away from the 240sx brakes. To confirm what Veecee has stated in regards to the 240sx brakes, they are indeed smaller. All of the 240sx owners here in the states up grade the stock brake system to something larger.

Here in the states, the 240sx was not marketed as a sports car to keep the focus on the Z32 as the flagship sports car. In turn our S13 and S14 have smaller brakes.
