Brake Pad Reviews

Stainless steel lines, DOT4 fluid and lightweight rotors/BBK are all nice to have. Less unsprung weight will add better acceleration/deceleration and handling, on top of improved brake response and reduced fade. Arguable need on a street-only driven car, but SS lines and DOT4 are cheap enough to do.
Went through the whole thread, page by page, still have doubts.. LOL! But indeed, very informative.. Thank you!

Thanks Mike. I do some spirited driving as well so I'm assuming you took that into account for your suggestion.. I don't think there's a single Z owner that actually baby's the car and doesn't step on it at least every once in a while..

You think these will do? Just looking for a step over stock.. How do these treat the rotors?

They will do. A lot of my Corvette customers run them, and so did I on my corvette when I wasn't on the track. Even on twisties under spirited driving they did fine. Easy on the rotors too
