Message	I know you have the Stoptech kit, and I'm going to *assume* you've driven a Z with the 350Z kit you're advertising above. I understand the increased diameter helps quite a bit over stock, but how much better is a dedicated, purpose-built big brake kit such as the Stoptech kit when compared to the 350Z kit? I understand the price difference is the biggest factor here, but where does a package such as the 350Z kit fit between OEM brakes with stock-sized rotors and decent pads/lines and a purpose built BBK such as the Stoptech, AP Racing, Wilwood, etc. in terms of shear stopping power and fade resistance? "bJammmin: holy jesus fucking shit bJammmin: people who say money cant buy happiness, obviously havn't driven a twin turbo Z" "done"? BAHAHAHAHAH ... it's never "done" ...." (in regards to the Z) Posted by: Guapo on June 16, 2005 at 10:34 PM WINTER (Also known as a "WISCONSIN WINTER") This is one of Wisconsin's two seasons which lasts approximately 9 months. The other season is the ROAD CONSTRUCTION season, lasting roughly 3 months.
