Initial bite is helpful, but making a hard stop from 75 mph would be largely unaffected. Doing the bigger brakes with SS lines, better fluid, and better initial bite would barely affect stopping distance in a significant fashion. A buddy of mine can easily lock his tires using 10 inch rotors and drum brakes. Bigger brakes only benefit in longer lasting, high heat applications, not total stopping distance. Gotta cut weight or get better rubber for that (or both).

Base brakes are bad I have searched and noticed there are no specs on stopping distance with the base brakes.

Yet, if someone here thinks the base brakes will stop in 70-0 in 157ft not happening.

The sport and Nismo can stop in 70-0 in 157ft the Camaro ZL1 does it in 159ft the corvette grand sport in 157ft.

I would like to see some tests. Surprisingly Nissan does not offer any specs on there site.

I had problems with my Base Brakes on my 350Z...But I was asking too much of them..

The car had way more power than it had brakes...So it was up to me to either upgrade the brakes, or do not depend on them in a high speed stop..

i just bought new Sport brakes....Oh and the touring 370z to go with it...

I've got the sports package but have never heard anyone complain about one stop with either set up.

Bacon makes everything better ( I actually have a shirt that says this)

Not liking bacon is just un-American. So basically, to sum it all up, if you don't like bacon, you're a communist.

Our enemies don't like Bacon...


Maybe we should wrap some gifts in bacon and send them to them...

Honey cured, hickory smoked, thick slice...

IMHO, if you weren't on a track or AutoX, you're driving too fast for your brakes on the street anyway...
