Default Brembo GTR vs. AP Racing 6 Pot vs. Endless 6 Pot vs. Endless 12 Pot BBK's

I am looking into getting a new BBK very soon and would like some feedback from owners running one of these setups. Now I will be doing some trackdays, autocross and highway runs, but I still need to be very streetable (i.e. doesnt take long for them to heat up to stop). Now i know the Endless 12 Pot is still kinda new and bit overkill so I may have a very hard time finding this but maybe someone has it.

I have the Baer 6s with 14'' two piece eradispeeds all the way around. I am very happy with them.

I have the 14.25" AP racing 6 piston kit, and it is a beast. I have yet to notice any significant fade even when pounding on them on the track. Really happy with the kit.

I am running the AP recommended ferodo ds2500 pads.

I don't have them on my Z, but I have Brembo's on my other car and never had problems and have surprised me a few times.

I'm a bit confused, as the price range of these kits are so widely spread its not even funny.

How fast pads heat up are more dependent on the brake pad you choose and its specific composition.

Honestly, for what you say you plan to do with your car OEM brembos with upgraded pads, slotted rotors and lines will be fine.

This coming from a guy who personally owns an Endless Racing 6/ Racing 4 kit (I will not lie I did it more for aesthetics than anything) and is able to sell you any of the kits you have mentioned.

Does Brembo offer a GTR set-up for the 350Z? Those are forged monoblock calipers, and I'm willing to bet the set for all four seen in the picture runs 20k+. The 380RS-Competition has those brakes, but I wasn't aware that Brembo was marketing an aftermarket "kit" for them, like they do their GT line.

I don't think they are that much. Brembo offers a Monoblock kit for the E46 M3 and they cost around $5-6k, 6piston front/4piston rear.

I don't think this is the same monoblock they use in race cars though. But it does look exactly the same as the pictures above.

You could be right. I'm certain the pads and rotors in this kit are different than what goes on the 380RS-C, but the calipers sure do look like they're from Brembo's racing catalogue. I only did a quick search just now, and the first site that comes up with a price for the kit is this:
http://www.guldstrand.com/scripts/pr...?idproduct=360
Only $15k for a Corvette kit with 8-piston front and 4-piston rears. I guess I was $5k off, huh? LOL. If the M3 kit is only $5-6k, that's a steal. Wonder what a kit for the Z33 runs, if it's available.
