There are only a handful of brake upgrades I would use on track, and Brembo and AP, and Stop Tech are three of them.
I forget where I had read it, but one of the car mags had mentioned the Akebonos replacing Brembos and pointing to the F1 deal as if that was a positive thing for the Z's brakes. Seems that's not the case at all, thanks for the info, Sharif.
