Let me get your thoughts on this:

I'm looking into brakes for the 350z I'm working on. So far, I have checked
out Brembo & Stoptech.

Just checking to see if I'm missing anything. Don't mind going "over the
top" if you know of something extra nice for this car. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mark

AP is good... how many Pistons are you going for?

I have AP Racing slotted and drilled rotors, pads, red calipers and SS lines on my
car and love them. www.stillen.com pics at my website and in their 2004 catalogue
(they used my car for the body kit pics.)

Stop, look what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.

Can I ask you a honest question?
do you find the car has a hard shifter?
very clunky? almost like the slots are all bent up?

I may be exaggerating but the feel is not smooth on mine.
I also don't see a very fast pick up from first gear if I don't floor it.

I WOULD LOVE your input on this.

Nissan says the car is fine.

Mine shifts like a Nintendo controller. Smooth, positive; very slick. Shame
on that dealer. Who is it? Enquiring minds want to know...

If you want a fast start from your 350Z, skip 1st gear and start out in 2nd.
You'll leave everyone behind at stop lights.

Well my car is an A5T with a high stall torque converter from Edge Racing
and 9 PSI supercharger.

I bracket race and fly out of the hole. I don't have the issues you mentioned.
