Default Inexpensive Brake Upgrade?

I FEAR SOON I WILL NEED BRAKES ALL THE WAY AROUND FOR MY Z. IDON'T HAVE BREMBOS DAMN*&^*&^, BUT WANT TO UPGRADE THE STOCK ROTORS, PADS, AND POSSIBLY RUBBER HOSES TO STEEL BRAIDED ONES. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS THE $$$. WOULD IT BE BETTER TO GO WITH A ROTOR, PAD, & LINE KIT FROM SOMEONE LIKE STOPTECH, FIND THE OEM BREMBO PACKAGE OR WHAT. IDON'T HAVE A LOT OF $$ TO PLAY WITH, BUT I WOULD RATHER WAIT, SAVE AND SPEND WISLEY THAN BLOW IT ON CRAP. ANY HELP, OPINIONS OR IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Welcome to the forum. My hearing is fine - there’s no need to shout.

If $ is real tight I'd start with the SS lines and pads. That will keep the cost down (way cheaper than buying used OEM Brembos) while improving performance.

Oh and if you decide to upgrade to a BBK in the future, you'll already have the lines in place. This as opposed to buying new rotors for the non-Brembo stock setup that will get tossed if you go BBK.

We have a great solution...talk to Performance Nissan...they have these on the shelf:
StopTech Stage 2:
Stage 2 brake upgrade includes StopTech stainless steel brake lines for front and rear, 3 bottles of Motul 600 brake fluid, Axxis Ultimate pads for front and rear, and 4 slotted stock-sized rotors. FITS STOCK CALIPERS.

Retail is $699 for the whole package...and you can also get the package with drilled rotors for the same price.
