Some of the ideas that were discussed but rejected for this special project include:
1. Pink Hello Kitty edition calipers (we're still mad that those prototype photos got leaked)
2. Heart-shaped slots on the rotor faces
3. 18", 24k gold rotors
4. Diamond encrusted StopTech logos
5. Invisible calipers
6. 73 piston calipers, front and rear (yes, an odd number of pistons)
7. Transforming personal care caliper- turns into a toothbrush, hair brush, or body wash dispenser
8. Parachute in rear calipers for drag race applications
Seriously...
I've been waiting on some special prototypes to be made, and yesterday I put together what will probably be the final specs on the kit. This Limited Edition kit will have 4 or 5 unique features vs. our standard BBK's for the 350Z. It's going to be sweet, and I guarantee you WILL like it.

I'm a fan of #6. 73 pistons has to have mad stopping power. Any ETA? Can you give us any hints to the 4 or 5 features? Any price difference? Any difference in caliper size? Thanks!

Three questions...
-Is this Special Edition kit specific to the 350Z only (as in a 350Z logo or badging) or will this be for the G35 as well??? I'm hoping you didn't forget us G35 guys!!!
-Can you please give us an estimate of how much longer we will have to wait for it to be released or until you guys post some pics & specific info?
-I hope it's not too far in the design process to consider this, but I'm hoping the rear rotors of the special edition kit are not larger than 13" so that drag wheels with slicks can be mounted at the rear. If this is not already in your design plan, would you consider making a version for the drag racers???
I ask this because I think big things will happen powerwise in the Z/G world in 2008 and that we are on the dawn of the Z/G equaling and potentially surpassing the Supra as the power king in the import tuner world. Shops renowned for their work on the Supra (such as Intense Motorsports, Sound Performance, and Injected Performance) are now applying that knowledge and experience to make big power Z's and G's. I see a potential significant influx in the near future of big power 800-1,000+ whp Z/G street cars racing at the drag strip on slicks and driving on street tires on the way home. I hope you guys choose to accomodate this part of the market that IMO has much growth potential as new horsepower records/milestones are created within the next several weeks and months.

I had Stoptech BBK on my old S2000.. You guys make great products.
Can you also include some transducer modulators with the muffler bearings? Or some ATE/Motul blinker fluid with the brake fluid?
