Yes, the stock brakes have to strike a balance between performance and day-to-day comfort. The OEM pads are good low dust pads with a lot of bite when you have the pedal all the way down. Not up to track use but they are really good on the street.

FWIW, the Z is just fine above 220*F on oil. There's no danger until you reach the first stage of limp mode at 280* which limits the revs to 5xxxx.
