s13 brakes: good pads vs. z32's with whatever pads - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

93-98 (i think) Altima rotors for 4 lug, maxima rotors for 5 lug.

I have 180sx brakes(180 calipers, maxima rotors, spl parts stainless lines) with endless s-sport pads. With the RS2s that I usually have on, my car stops better and more confidently than cars I have driven with Z32 brakes, particularly cars with z32 brakes and crappy tires.

The only situation that would make me get z brakes is if I were running the car on track and had problems with fading.

Otherwise, its just a waste of money imo. Many people will tell you that you will stop better with high performance pads and stock calipers than zbrakes w/ stock pads.
...And who cares if you think you car looks cooler because your calipers say nissan on them.
