Can you elaborate on what criteria you are most interested in? AP Racing kits have been offered for various Nissan vehicles since the 300ZX, and specifically for the 370Z since
before it was sold to the public. There are a few different options currently available, along with a new, mind-blowing option that should be arriving in the Spring (fingers crossed!).
While both companies offer systems that are well-balanced mechanically, the
thermal front/rear balance of the AP Racing system is currently unmatched. If you ever plan on tracking the car, this fact alone will make pad selection much less complicated when going to different tracks and running in different conditions (dry, wet, hot, cold, green track, etc.). Using too heavy of a disc on the rear is not really a problem on the street, but it does not make much sense for performance use. Not only do you get to drag around all that unnecessary weight, but the temperature rise is much more different front to rear that it would otherwise need to be. As we have also seen on the R35 GT-R, running rear brake temps that are too low creates a situation where the car can be optimized at one end of the temperature spectrum or the other, but not both.
Describe how you plan on using the car and I can offer up what I know from experience with this platform. Others will probably also chime in with their results. With all that, you will probably be in a better place to make an
informed decision.
