Stoptech 13" BBK will clear the factory 17" wheels all around.

I drive an Enthusiast, and right now I have the Stoptech 13 inch brake kit, front and rear, and am running my stock 17 inch wheels during the winter. They definitely fit these brakes, as well as the stock Brembos that come on the track model.

Thanks Z1. So, what would us be concerned when changing the front braking to a BBK, and leaving the rear as stock? Also, amount all three brands, which one is the most affordable, as in best bang for buck, to use, Brembo, StopTech, and AP?

I was an early buyer of the Stoptech 13" F BBK, and it has worked very well for about 2 dozen HPDE's. I have added Track Brembos to the rear for an even better set-up. The aftermarket Brembo set-up seems very expensive. The AP set-up is very nice, but I don't think they offer slotted only rotors. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If $ no object, check out Alcon.......they have been working on a set-up for our cars.

I know about Wilwood, but the Z is not listed as one of the cars on their company website. Is there a reason why they don't?

Skong, Wilwood themselves do not fabricate a kit for the Z but we do. We being BrakeZone, one their largest North American distributors for the import market. We had about 5 350Z and G35s at SEMA alone this year.

Check out our GB in the classified section going on right now. I doubt you ll find a better bang for the buck deal than what we are offering right now.

Thanks C Ray Z. When I'm ready, I'll contact the sponsoring vendors here to get more pricing and information.

I wanted to keep my stock rims, so a BBK with a fitman from 17" and above is very important.

Thanks for all the help, guys and gals!
