ain't no 300zx brakes, I don't like the fact that I have to get stainless steel lines and that the caliper might not clear some wheels. So I got q45 front calipers, going to get redrilled q45 rotors from heavythrottle, some axxis pads and I'm done! I also bought the mbc because I don't want the brakes to be too sensitive.

Why don't you like stainless braided brake lines?

extra cost and I posted what I found about SS lines a while back, something about that dust and rocks get stuck between the braid and tore the actual line apart.

Then there was a rebuttal that some SS lines have another layer of rubber as shielding, but cost even more.

I just want to upgrade my brake, not because of the trendy 300zx calipers

keeping your stock MC would make for a more mushy pedal, not a more sensative one.
