It was alright.. but I could fade the setup and I was sick of dealing with 20 year old junk/rebuilds.I have arizona z car setup front and rear. 6pot front and 4 pot rear. It is the most significant upgrade on the car. It rocks I LOVE the brakes I want more grippier tires and more aggressive pads bu other than that.. great. with 'aggressive street pads' from willwood I was able to go into a short technical track 40 minutes straight session without breaks (lol almost a pun) and no brake fade. I was outbreaking other cars on track like i'm about to rape the other cars and make them whimper and cry. Point being, the brakes are great and worth the buy.I would however get a kit from someone else. The arizona z car/dave is i guess okay according to some people but personally i havent had best customer service from him. Customer service is half the deal. The guy never replies to my emails wth, and cant get a hold of him through phone + i don like calling by phone to states as im in canada costs me money.He is unwilling to share part numbers on the s*** and would rather hook u up directly through himself. This may be good for his business but not good enough for me.I contacted wilwood directly and they identified the pars as generic wilwood parts... so pretty much i didn end up like dealing with him. Also the kit needed a few modifications here and there which was really lame. I dont mind it but just a heads up. The rear brake knuckle had to be sawn off and ebrake lost which is fine and dandy by me. I put into 1st gear when i park anyways and i dont drift.The rotors had runout that needed to be taken care of but apparently wilwood rotors come like that.. but still... the rotors were slightly warped when i installed them (WTH brand new)... and he brackets/calipers had to be shimmed. This may piss off some ppl and it did piss me off. Should be straight bolton tight affair.Anyways that aside the brakes are PHENOMENAL and worth every penny. I also have a brake bias adjuster in cabin (woohoo) which works great for front/rear bias adjustment... and...the hydraulic jammer lock button.. but it doesnt work so boo (again i put into 1st gear).I would recommend this one kit that a guy is selling on zilvia, 12", 13", 14' 2 piece rotor choices +superlie 6pot/4pot choices. Same price or even cheaper if i remember. He is in the advertising section i forget exactly. Much better kit i think too (no personal experience but jus looking at it).That is all Stop wasting time on used oem calipers/rotors. Only advantage of z32 kit is that rotors are cheap as hell but so what.Weight-wise my wilwood 6pot 13" 2 piece setup weighs same/less (i have it somewhere on hand) than the z32 26mm setup i had before.

Obviously it was a huge difference from the tired stock ones. They ride nicely, but they are still stock metal with little adjustability- with the full spherical bearing units, you usually get more adjustability (I'm assuming Battle Version is the same way). With the amount of modification you've already done, I'd probably go with the new arms to make sure you can get everything aligned properly.
