Message	you start SEVERELY fading the stock setup. and if this is his (ZweetdreamZ) first track event i guarantee he's a long long way from that. SS lines, fluid w/ a higher boiling point (i use motul 600) and really aggressive pads with stock brakes will make all the difference in the world. but yes, brakes are the most important upgrade...you already have more than enough power to crash. ------------------------- Wide open until you see God, then brake. -Rule #1 for owning a Z: Never put anything on your car that can be described as "tight".
