i went with the 30mm calipers. i have not pushed the car yet fully, and i am not sure of the performance difference between the 2. but... i will say, if the 30mm calipers aren't good enough... there are upgrades you can do, not including upgrading pads... like the vr4 rotor upgrade or the 350z rotor upgrade... which will help out alot... if you have more money...

The way that I look at it is as such. The 26mm brakes are only a 4 mm difference (obviously). I can't imagine that there would be a HUGE noticeable difference between that at the 30mm. It will be much better than stock (obviously). I will have slotted and drilled rotors, PBR pads, and SS lines. Can anyone give me any technical data which would dissuade me in this decision.
