I only ever did 1 or 2 hot laps per session where I was hard on the breaks and I did not experience any fade. I'm sure that if I went hard for longer, I would have experienced some fade. Also, keep in mind that last week was the first time I experienced track racing, so I spent considerable time working out lines and the limits of adhesion of my tyres. Therefore, most of the time I was cruising the curcuit working on a different corner/s each lap and was gentle on the breaks, during the corners that I was not "working" on.
However, I would like to have the Brembos, and I would have purchased them at time of order if they were offered as an option on the Touring.

If you are interested there are a few options for brake upgrades for the 350. eg I believe there is 8 piston Brembo kit that fits the Z. Just bear in mind that this kits usually require bigger rotors. Most of the kits have the rotors as an option.

Price wise anywhere from 4K and up. (thats for the front only)

Question is do you really need it !


My 2c. Put better pads and spend the money on tweaking the suspension

Right now, I don't need better breaks. I just want a good brand pad that will perform well and not produce as much dust as the current stock pads.
If I get FI in the future, then I would spend that money on a set of new breaks, but not worth it until the engine is making 300+kW , or you're serious about some track work.
