For the weekend warrior? Yes
You just need to upgrade the pads if you're really going to push. The brake fluid is a must though ![]() Switching to ss brake lines, And 2 piece rotors wouldn't hurt either But that depends if you decide to track often Last edited by Trips; 07-27-2013 at 07:36 PM. |

1. Good brake fluid 2. Pads 3. Stainless lines 4. Ti pad heat shield shims (helps keep the heat out of the caliper) 5. Brake cooling ducts. (this is for any brake set-up on the Z) 6. 2 piece rotors if your budget alollows for them.

Keeping heat out of the caliper is keeping heat in the pads. This is a big trade off on pad life. Good calipers and fluid is part of the overall heatsink system.
