On my 350z I had the 14" stoptechs front and rear. when running the small brakes in the rear, on the street, i could not even feel a difference.

but i would recommend going somewhere safe to practice some hard braking and get a feel for the new F/R brake ratio and make sure its stable. With ABS it shouldnt be much an issue but I would still get a feel for it and see whats what before going out racing.

Yeah true. My ideal setup for the street/strip would be the stock akebono front, and the base 350z rear with whatever pads and rotors I end up choosing? Does that sound like a OK setup to you? Are the 350 base brakes a direct fit for the 370?
