Ok, I have heard about two problems with the z32 brake upgrade: possible rear lockup and increased pedal travel. I am not too concerned about the inc in pedal travel but I am with rear lockup. Is this a serious problem and do the advantages of the z32 upgrade outweight the disadvantages? Reason I ask is that I'm planning to do the Z32 upgrade (fronts only) this weekend. Here's exactly what i plan to upgrade to: Fronts: 30mm aluminum calipers w/heavy throttle dimpled drilled/slotted rotors, axxis metal master pads and z32 ss conversion lines; Rear: stock calipers/rotors, axxis metal master pads and stock ss lines. I do plan on bleeding all the lines. I have a '95 SE with ABS/VLSD and stock master cylinder.

Thanks
