Default BBK Show or Go

Not to sound ignorant but if you just daily drive your Z, there is now real big reason behind buying a BBK, other than atheistics.

edit....... YES OR NO "Explain"?

I don't have BBK but like I don't track/autox/race my car really so I don't feel the need to have bigger brakes. I can live without but if I had money to burn, I'd upgrade personally for show and go.

man...wtf is your question exactly?

I need a set, the stock brakes just dont cut it on the track. Autocross stockers are fine , but roadcourse they just cant handle it.

I have already warped 3 sets of rotors since I have had my car.
Definitely looking to upgrade in the spring to a BBK Front/Rear.

I autocross/road course multiple times over the warm weather.

When you FI stock rotors just won't do it.
I got a 05 6MT G35 coupe.
They didn't offer Brembo's on 05+ G35 coupe

Are you making a statement or asking a question?

Your my man Doug and I like you a lot (no homo), but what does being N/A or FI have to do with having a BBK?

because na cars can't possibly reach speeds where you would need upgraded brakes.

That is the opposite of what you should do. Stopping safely with power is better than throwing out an anchor while you wait between the time you FI and the time you get a BBK.

i guess i am the opposite.. i would rather have my car faster than stop faster..

again i havn't been in a situation YET where i wasn't able to stop.. or had trouble stopping.. so even at this point i don't NEED a BBK ..
