Building your own system and taking a couple of runs up and down the local supermarket parking lot doesn't add up to the R&D that went into this set-up.

What? You’re saying there are more than this to constitute a thorough R&D? 
 

my car is pretty “bone stock” except the recent “force” upgraded transmission to closed ratio, and I love it.  The front brake thing is another upgrade.  The Z sure fun to tinkering and improving things.  My pain point right know is my shallow pocket.   I don’t see myself upgrading the rear to disc anytime soon.  Whenever I upgrade anything, I try to retain the original look as much as possible.

I try to absorb the reading materials as much as possible before pulling the trigger … but until I actually do it… I always curious of what iffff .  The upgraded calipers with stock MC and booster feel great so far.  No spongy feeling.  Brake pedal feels tight.  One thing I notice is the ceramic pads get gripper as the rotor get hot.
