I actually installed new front rotors (EBC USR Ultimax Slotted) and front pads (Hawk Performance Ceramic) and changed out the brake fluid with ATE SuperBlue all last night. Noticeable improvement as my stock rotors were a bit warped with uneven pad depositing. I know the Hawk pads are solid from previous experiences, and so far they seem to be right on par.
Cool....I think a lot of people focus on the engine and gaining more HP and not think about the breaking system. Which is one of the most important things when moding.

The Breaking System is what controls the Steering Lock

You're exactly right If you're going to get on a track with this car, the stock pads and stock brake fluid are not adequate. Replacing both of them is absolutely necessary. Also, a Z with no oil cooler or only the stock oil cooler is probably going to need an aftermarket oil cooler for sustained track use.

I know right..I did see a few oil coolers out there that look promising. Z1 one's sells a few of them, with various sizes. It would depend on how hard you run the Z on the track or where you live in reference to temperature.
