Not NO, but HELL NO! I am getting a 8 piston kit for the front, and I wanted to beef up my rear brakes as well without going broke.

guys... i had purchased hawk hps brake pads a few months ago. went to install them today and they aren't the right ones for my Z. i believe they are the brake pads for the 03 - 05 non-brembo Z. so if any of you are interested in them, lemme know.

Bigger brakes only alter your resistance to have brake fade. They will very unlikely shorten your braking distance, sometimes maybe even hurt it.

With that said, I don't see an 8 piston kit being much better than the arizonaZcar 6 piston setup. Do you plan on hitting up any lapping days?

Bradley didn't experience any fade at an EVOC lapping day with his brembos and upgraded pads.

No I don't think I will be hitting up lap days. I am upgrading my base model brakes, due to the higher hp from my turbo. I was looking at either a K-sport 8 piston kit on the front, and getting stock Brembo's for the rear, with upgraded rotors, until Will showed me the Wilwood 6 piston front & 4 piston rear. It is definitely something I am considering, since the rear Brembo's w/rotor's would probably run me more than the Wilwood rear kit. What's your take on it?

That was a busy post. Thanks for the link, I am still liking the Wilwood's. Seems like best bang for the buck. Are you running Endless bbk?

I rode on friday night and saturday morning. I installed my flushmount fronts sat. afternoon. Now I have a problem with my rear integrated taillight. My rear blinkers don't work. I need to take the tail section off and troubleshoot before I install some resistors. I didn't install the tail so it might installed wrong.

Probably the W3s, don't think you'll have enough power for the W6v2s. You could get two better subs if you hop outside of the box
