No way to get the sport package brakes without paying substantially for it...

You are looking somewhere around 1k for the calipers/rotors/lines/pads used.

Brembos for 10$...

How were you misled by the sales rep???

Brakes are one of, if not THE most important feature on a car. God forbid you drop some coin on a decent upgrade.

If all you want is a little bling, someone on here did a really great job sanding and painting their stock base model calipers and they looked great. Super glossy, and even added some decals. They're not giant like the sport kit, but they looked nice.

If I were you, I'd save a little more and do it the right way.

Yeah. Did he sell you $2K worth of brakes?

Even the sport package brakes kind of suck without better pads and SS lines... sorry, but decent brakes for big wheels will cost some coin...

By the sound of it, I don't think the OP is gonna be hitting the track on any regular basis. For DDing, the sport brakes are pretty friggin great. I avoided a nasty t-bone with 'em. Nearly kissed my steering wheel from the stopping power. I'm just glad no one was following too close behind.

i have worked at a car dealership for 13 years and it boggles my mind how the op could possibly blame the dealership for not knowing his car doesn't have the sports package!! The car has different rims, different brakes, plus the the other features like syncro rev matching & limited slip!! If you were told the car had bluetooth and it didn't i could understand that or heated seats or something minor like that!! the sports package is $3030, how do you not know if you paid for that or if it wasn't on your window sticker!?!

Much more then just brakes. This is a silly thread.

OP probably got suckered or he didn't do his homework. When I bought my Z from the dealership, I pretended to not know anything as I listened to the salesman lay down his pitch. The car was pretty much sold, I just never let on that I knew more about the car than he did. Playing stupid and being coy about purchasing made negotiating easier.

Anyhow.. a sucker is born every minute. What's the real crime here? Separating a sucker from his money or letting him keep it? I like the title of this thread, "Mislead by stupid sales rep..." LOL

and z1 is not responding to any of my emails, that ive sent the last 2 weeks, 1 each week. so ........
