how some of the 350/370Z "kits" affect things, but not curious enough to dig up all the specs, lol. I'm sure an email to CZP or Z1 or
someone who has the things on-hand could get all the data necessary to run the numbers. The obvious route is to use a front and rear caliper/rotor configuration that are designed fro use with each other, but by no one's account, when I was
shopping around, did anyone tell me the front/rear kits were at all necessary for street-driven/weekend warrior Z's. This should be obvious given the
fact that even some of the brake manufacturers offer front kits alone.
All things being equal, if "ultimate braking performance" is necessary, as the data shows, only a fool who didn't do his
homework would choose to spend hundreds more for only the 355mm front BBK (with OEM rears) over the 332mm front & rear kit. Something else noteworthy, dont assume that equal sized front and rear discs necessarily means a proper setup. The OEM rears are
actually larger than the OEM fronts in the stock system. Obviously you can set it up however you want and make adjustments
elsewhere in effect tailoring the entire braking system to your desires, just saying dont be surprised if in some instances the rear rotors turn out to be
larger than the fronts. With so many variables affecting the bias, it is easy to see how this comes to be.
 "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."
