Default Greddy TT kit for sale on eBay

So I was browsing eBay today and found this forsale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2470934021

The advertisment had some specifications comparing with and without the TT kit. There was one spec that stuck out at me, it was the 60-0 braking distance. How can something designed to make the car go faster also help it stop in a shorter distance?

Code:
              Stock 350Z           GReddy 350Z
HP:            280hp / 244.4whp     370hp / 334.2whp
Torque:        238.5 ft-lbs         339.2 ft-lbs
1/4 Mile       14.02 @ 101.89mph    12.79 @ 106.53mph
0-60 mph       5.72 sec.            4.61 sec.
60-0 braking   121 ft               117 ft
600ft Slalom   66.4 mph             69.7 mph

You're being sarcastic, right? Most "corporate" tuner cars (RS*R, GReddy, etc.) are usually upgraded in most areas. The GReddy car most likely has some aftermarket big brake kit, premium/larger rubber and wheels and maybe even brake lines to improve braking. These numbers are meant to show total performance increases (all categories), just like the comparison you cite.

Nope, not being sarcastic, just asking a question. If you look at the contents of the kit as posted on eBay there is no mention about a brake upgrade. So you think that is where the 4 feet are going? Wow imagine that, something on eBay being misleading. Who would of thought of that?

Thanks
