Message	Brembo calipers. I have no solid basis for this opinion as I haven't felt or seen the effects of the sti calipers on a zed, but I believe the g37 rotors have a larger diameter than the ones you'd run with the STI rear Brembos, making up for the contact pad area difference. Either way, the braking bias with the 350z Brembo and RP rear bracket seems perfect and the price point (and keeping the ebrake functional) makes it the most justifiable imo.
