Message	But I'm glad I got the Wilwoods. I'm not longer scared to brake from high speeds. And the damn guys I drive with are insane. Too many 1000 hp cars running around in our group of "friends". It's still fun to tail them in the Z, but many times we're slamming on brakes when needed. For nearly the same amount of money as the stock-sized brake upgrades, I think a larger rotor upgrade is much more cost beneficial (if larger wheels are already being used). Spee's view on Pinnacle Souveran: "Next time, give me $70, I'll get you a decent wax and pull your balls through your left ear...same thing :-)"
