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.
