At a certain point, it comes down to
preference.With regards to braking, it's not rocket
science. Bigger rotors, better calipers and
hardware= better braking. Decided on the trophy kit. My preference is to have the best that is
available that makes sense/maintains quality.
Others may shop for the cheapest option that
"works", but I guess with the people I hang
out with, there's a certain bling factor that
must be maintained. I guess I'm a ricer. You could get HRE COMPS, or you could get
some Enkeis. Both work. Only one will turn
heads cuz of the bling factor though. Of
course the HREs have useless little stuff like
titanium fasteners etc that make the
purchaser feel better about spending
thousands, but I do acknowledge that it's
baloney. Could settle for some Wilwoods, or even the
reg 14 inch StopTechs, but since I need to
satisfy the bling need as well without
sacrificing quality, I "need" to get the Trophy
kit. Will that extra pound off the caliper help
me incredibly? Probably not. Doesn't hurt
that I'll have the first one for a 300zx, and I
will make sure I advertise that for as long as
it's true lol. bragging rights. I love bragging rights. As
much as I can afford to, I will stick to the
option that allows it. I just don't understand
saying the "its unnecessary" comments with
regards to price. This is a car forum, not the
money section in the WSJ. I would be down to do some braking
comparisons with some of the systems listed
elsewhere in this thread, if the people
interested are within reasonable distance and
are willing to lend out their calipers for me to
use.
