Message Your Z already came with an "interior" proportioning valve.

BBKs aren't bought to decrease stopping distance, they are bought to eliminate brake fade due to prolonged heat while hard lapping.

So that being said, if you didnt burn laps in both kits, then you didn't actually do squat with them.

If you felt any difference it was likely a result of differing brake pad compounds and bedding-in. As for pedal feel, the calipers Dave provided in my Wilwood brakes have a piston area that is very close to stock piston area, that gives you pedal feel, unless you are referring to something else by saying pedal feel.

Having burnt plenty of laps in my Wilwood brakes and seen many cars faster than mine burning laps in AP brakes, I am reasonably sure I can say you cant go wrong with either. Choose the ones you get the best deal on and that make the most sense for your needs regarding dimensions and wheel clearance, ease of install, etc etc.
