question on brake kits

[Panamared]

Hi I have a clue.

I want to upgrade my brake sist. but Im not sure what to get.

MSA have a rear drum brake conversion to disc and also for front brakes have 4 piston calipers and vented/sloted rotors kit.

Been looking for wilwood kit that offers Arizonazcar and the look super for me.

Im sure some one can drive me the right way.

What do you recommend to me as a better brake system.

Thank You.

Basicly after reading these I just decided to keep my system stock since it is fine for normal driving (and in the opinion of some even Auto Cross).

Hope these help....

Yes, the stock brakes are good for everyday driving. But as a BSP (SCCA) racer and canyon racer, I can tell you. It gets to be pretty exciting out there, when your brakes go to the floor and you need to slow down. What also was bad, I use to belong to the Colorado Z club and ran with them on the race track at Second Creek (moved back to NC now). It would only take one time on the track to boil the brake fluid. Talk about your pucker power. I have gone to the 300ZX brake rotors w/toyota calibers upfront and 280ZX brake package in the rear (it took me out of the BSP class). I still take it out on the track and haven't had that problem in some time now. Look over all of the sites, most have some pretty good info on them on several brake systems for our car. Just pick the one you like and go for it. Also look into info on brake cooling. Depending on your money situation, you can do it several ways and still get better brakes. I am currently working on a rear setup using a 1989 Olds. grand touring sedan front rotor on the rear. Still looking into what type caliber and mounting bracket, do I want to use. Also working with the 300ZX turbo brake system to see if I can mount them to a Z. Got the rotors off of a car at a pick-and-pull in Greeley, CO for almost nothing. The HybridZ.org site is a real good site for more info on such a subject. Good Luck with what you are looking into. If you decide to change it. Please post it here and tell us all about it. Rich:)
