Message CZP is offering for $700 less, or the kit Guapo and others use up front for $1400 less.

Whose foot is in whose mouth again?

Brake Fade....LOL, what is that? I think I remember I USED to have that problem....
This is going in circles now and frankly I'm feeling embarassed to have to watch you avoid swallowing your pride at all costs.

Cooling is not an issue with any of the aforementioned kits. Ask anyone who has actually used them.
Caliper stiffness is not an issue with any of the aforementioned kits. Ask anyone who has actually used them.
Unsprung weight differences between any of the aforementioned kits is not an issue. Ask anyone who has actually used them.

And one last time to summarize....
Any combination or accumulative effect of the above is not an issue and does not create any issues for anyone using these kits for
recreational purposes.

It can't be put any simpler Linsen. Seriously, what is wrong with you?

"I place importance on a few percent way more than you"

You chose the Stoptech BBK that has poorer balance of the two.
You praise the benefits of its "reduced unsprung weight".......with your 26.7 & 27.1lb 19-inch boat anchors (106lbs of unsprung weight!!)
You didn't opt for an adjustable proportioning valve...you know, to maximize braking performance those precious few %'s

Since your eggshell-fragile ego absolutely insists on turning this into a pissing contest....

I have zero problems with overheating or padwear you can cite whatever you want, doesnt change a thing Vorpal will say the same for his BBK.
I have at least 22lbs less unsprung weight than you in wheels alone, somehow I doubt your BBK weighs 22lbs less than mine.
I can install the adjustable proprtioning valve next week and dial in perfect braking balance for my Z & maximum braking performance, you are content
with Stoptech's less-balanced BBK (of the two) for the Z32.

Apparently I place a little more importance on these things, and I wasnt even trying.
I was simply, how does the expression go?.....oh yeah...

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform."
--Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill
