Message	it has been mentioned before that a set of upgraded pads, some SS lines, fresh fluid and maybe even Brembo X-drilled and/or slotted rotors will go a LONG way for street use. If you haven't switched to an upgraded brake pad yet, do it, then reevaluate your big brake upgrade for street use. -Brad 1992 Z32 2+2 NA 1996 B14 SE-R 1986 Z31 Coupe NA (For Sale) ________________________ "...when i've been in florida, people drive crazy, dangerous, and fast." - ARA300ZX on January 10, 2007 at 12:06 PM "You were 100% correct." - Kenny on October 10, 2006 at 1:15 PM "2+2s must be carnivorous.
