What don't you have to change if you use Q45 brakes? Is it the Calipers?

it is recommended by some to resurface your rotors everytime you change your brake pads

I heard they were better bang for the buck. 300Zx brakes are better for stopping but cost more to swap.

Generally Q45 calipers are cheaper than 30mm TT ZX's. Yea you will have those places that don't know about the various swaps and will sell 300 zx calipers for the same price or even cheaper. But generally a junkyard will charge you more for TT 300zx calipers than for q45 calipers. Well this is what I found on my junkyard searches. For my 1st question for this thread I didn't mean to say calipers. I was told that there was something else you didn't need to change for the Q45 swap. I'll post when I find out.
