Thanks, RalliartRSX, what do you consider to be "good pads"? I am running Hawk HP Plus. first i had a custom setup using the rotors from a 350z track. now those rotrs were 22 lbs each, I thought maybe thats why the car didnt stop, so I upgraded to AMS two peice rotors where were like 10 lbs lighter on each side. then got 7.5" wide fn01rc's that were also about 10 lbs lighter per side. and even with a total of 40 lbs of unsprung weight reduction, the car still doesnt stop. so I know the z32 calipers cant work with a JZ engine up front. at least not with Hawk HP's.

I dont mind changing to a bigger wheel if I need a rotor with more surface area. I just need to know what to get.

EDIT- Also changed tires, Im not near the car now and cant remember, but it is a sticky tire, it was recommeded by another road race buddy.
