Its your call at the end of the day but in your case either will probably work just fine. You have to figure if you can deal with Skid always having bigger (better?) brakes than you down the road though

 

LOL thanks for making me feel bad. You wait Skidmarq . . . . your end has yet to come . . . . .

 

Just tell yourself that it isn't always size that counts...at least that's what my girlfriend always tells me DOH!

Believe me, the price between 355 and 332 in the front will be minimal in the grand scheme of things. For piece of mind the extra few bucks is well worth it IMHO.

 

Yeah but stopping power is pretty much the same the 355mm just reduces more heat. I don't think I track my car enough to create so much heat to begin with . . . . .

 

I reserve the right to use the "well mine is bigger than yours" card then...

 

Here's some pics of my 332/328 4/2 stoptechs in black, on my black G.

Just had to show off your car again, huh Dave? LOL

 

He asked for black BBK on a black car, and thats what he got... Not quite black wheels, but close.

 

Thanks Dave! You liking the JWT TT? I hear it's an awesome kit.

In your opinion, if you built your engine and added 100whp, do you think you would feel the need to upgrade to 6-pot brakes on the front?

Thanks

 

I love it!

As for 6 pots, well, I suppose it would depend on how hard you track it, and since I haven't been to the track with my Stoptechs yet, I can't really say.

However, dave Zeckhausen, a pretty knoewledgable brake guy, who also provides pads for Stoptechs, told me that with the race pads I bought (PFC-01), I won't have any problems at the track, even with continuous lapping, and more power.

 

Great to know. Thanks!

 

Dont worry about 4 piston vs 6 piston...torque output is the same with the only advantage being more pad volume. If you were at a point where you were oversaturating ST40 race pads with a 355mm kit, you are probably in a full race car with downforce on competiton race slicks and no ducting. For comparison purposes, the LG Motorsports World Challenge Corvette ran our 4 piston setup with PFC01 pads for years and that is a stripped out 550HP car with downforce and a very aggressive driver on the mandated shaved RA-1s so Im pretty sure your Z with moderate track use will be fine. Remember, its not about horsepower, but the speeds you are braking from. Just because you have more power doesnt mean you will always be braking from 140+.

 

You know why I'm so sold on StopTech vs others... You are not trying to sell your most expensive kit! You (StopTech) are truely about making the customer happy! Now if I could just come up with the money for the 4/2 kit.

 

If the 4 wheel kit is a little out of range just go with the front for the time being. You will get 90+% of the overall improvement and can always get the rear kit later.

 

You guys are awesome. I'm definitely going Stoptech for my brakes.
