Also about to purchase the stillen brake cooling kit as soon as I'm done with some other mods... the Z brakes are near perfect with this kit and stillen's brake cooling will make it flawless. Total cost of upgrades... $1000

Stoptech brake pkg for the akebono brakes? Did you swap out the akebonos? Sorry a bit confused on the wording.

Street with sport brakes, no issues at all

I've actually had the 2 people I let drive my car say the brakes are super aggressive

I've done plenty of canyon carving on the sport pkg brakes with no fade what so ever.
