Glad I got a Nismo 350Z... instead of the 370
Not sure yet, haven't experimented on this car. I was very happy with my Hawk HPS pads on the last car, but I know a buddy of mine with an Evo was not liking them on his OEM Brembo calipers. He's now on some Project Mu NS's I believe and likes them better, although he's not as hard on brakes as I am. I think he didn't properly break in the Hawks.
Glad I got my 07 Nismo over the 370z as well, its way better looking!

From what I'm seeing, Nissan went with the Akebeno brakes for the sport package on the 370Z and the 370 Nismo. These were the "HOT" brake upgrade also in the aftermaket for the 350. Was for me till information started popping up. Excessive brake fade. Rotors melting down, etc. I did the Willwood 13in 4 piston set up front and rear. One of my friends used 15in 6 piston fronts with full race pads. On the street he had a hell of a time stopping his car. The brakes do'nt heat up and stop the car. On the track, they run hotter and do the job. His reasoning was, on the track bigger can be better. On the street ,you can actually do worse by going too big. Looks is'nt everything.
