Brembros vs. Regular Brakes
Is there a comparison for stop distance listed somewhere that I can compare the Brembros to the Regular brakes.
For all of you with a Track model, do you think you could not live with out them?
Trying to decide between an enthusiast or a touring.
Thanks for the input.

Wow, after that research, it's sensible and more economical to get the stock Z brakes.

yeah definitly, big rotors and better brakes are good for the track, but not many will ever hit that point. hell there are quite a few tracks that wont even push the car to that point. but for those that do go there, I personally would rather get a real set, brembo sounds good, but those arent made by brembo from what I heard, just some other company with the brembo design and name.
hence why you could buy brembo brakes for the 350Z, but they would be no where near the track model brakes.

The Brembo products on the Z are in fact made by Brembo.
Certainly with track work there is no substitute to the bigger brakes! In day to day driving you wont tell the difference but I had the Z brakes on a previous car weighing the same and I was not all that impressed.
I did change pads and found it hard to fade on the street.
