I have a silver Stillen supercharged 2003 350Z with 18" SSR GT7 wheels and am looking to install a brake upgrade on all wheels. I am looking for any comments or experiences with installation of Brembo or AP Racing full brake systems (rotors, calipers, etc.). Any comments regarding braking power, brake dust, appearance, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

What would help you decide is what you are going to do with the car in future... such as if you're going to turn it into a full bore race car, or just use it for track days. In any case I would talk to the manufactures that you are considering and see what they recommend. I am considering getting Stoptech brakes for all corners of the car, but I haven't decided what size i am going to get yet.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not planning to turn my Z into a racer - perhaps an occasional day at the track is all. I am really looking for more braking power for road travel mostly and was just checking to see if I could get some feedback from others' experiences. Thanks again.

We Install the Rotora BBK on our customers cars as well as both of our Zs.

Fitment is great, Braking is crazy. Brake dust is comparable to that of stock.
