Found this link from Z1 (Z1 Akebono Sport Brake Upgrade Package), and I think it may be the best option.

If you're not intending to track the car, would the upgrade to the sport brakes be enough or should I still consider the brake cooling kit from Stillen?

I was considering buying their (Stillen) exhaust until I realized my exhaust money might be better off going towards brakes, hahahaha.

If your not intending to track... the EBC option on a non-sport Z would work. I am a strong proponent of purchasing the sport pkg. But I won't tell you its an absolute must if you won't track and you like the base Z.
That said. I would also seriously consider a G37. You might find it more comfortable. In the case of the G, what your second mod after brakes would be a good coilover. KW, HKS and JIC are the best for the G. Just something to ponder... removing the midpipe resonator is a good temporary mod while you ponder on exhausts.
