Message	I tried in vein to get my 1991 to stop like a sports car should. I did lines, pads rotors and the brace and the offered a noticeable but disaponting improvement. When I picked up a very unloved and abused 1993 TT the brakes were worn out but grabbed and felt so much better than the 1991. The only difference I could dicern was the 1993 had iron calipers. I guess Nissan switched for a reason. . http://www.icsamerica.com/zstory
