But I haven't needed to stomp them yet

Basically, I don't even notice them not installed, as the car itself is awesome enough

You can add all of that stuff on, if you want / need it on your car.

Z1 Motorsports sells an Akebono upgrade package that isn't too costly, in comparison with other BBKs. Z1 Akebono Sport Brake Upgrade Package (Front & Rear)

If you ever swap the diff, changing to a new final drive is worthwhile as well.

I know for a fact that I would have tboned an escalade to some extent when a lady pulled out in front of me the first month I had this car.

I literally stopped within and inch or two with my reaction time being as fast as I could and slamming my breaks.

And then she sat and stared at me for about 7 seconds in shock. Sheeesh

Meaning that I would have hit her with base breaks I'm 100% sure. At that point I remember thing I'm really content with getting the sport brakes and package.

Hey all

Just wondered how you can tell if a base model has the sports pakage?
I know the sport pakage has limited slip and some body things.. but what else..

I will be using the car as a daily driver 60 miles round trip.

I live in east coast so snow / rain is a issue.
I heard you can put on blizakks tires.. so My question is how much for 4 of these tires? Next is ... whats the best color.. I like white, black, silver.. I can live with red and dark grey and even yellow.. any feed back would be helpful.

I only wanna keep the car for max 2 yrs..

While I may understand still doesn't help a NEW member.

Please try to do a better job of Welcoming NEW members by either not saying anything or at least point them in the right direction.

Im sure We all can appreciate that approach than the gtfo approach.

Thanks.

The base has no spoiler. Easy as that.

raymondo510 · 07-25-2014, 04:02 AM

Also the sport model has the akenbo brake calipers

Your on the right track... Tires and Brakes are a number one priority..........
Sport package equals bigger brakes equals safety.....................
Then again I'm not a real doctor...

OP. The Z is a really nice sports car. If you will be changing the majority of what's on this list, get the base.

Oh yes, welcome to the forum.
