I went with the Q45's. They are cheaper and offer better wheel clearence. Stopping power is not quite AS good (not much difference) but remember, these brakes were on a 4000 lb V8 car so they will be plenty sufficient. And plus, it doesn't require a master cylinder swap/upgrade. Sure they don't have the NISSAN logo on the caliper, but you can run about any wheel you want and save yourself some money.

z32 brakes dont need a master cylinder upgrade...I run the stock s13 one. I just have to push the pedal down a little further, really no difference in braking at all.

Being told to search is not meant to insult you. It's a pretty common part of the culture here on the forums. It comes from having to read and respond to numerous questions about the same topic that pop up very frequently.

Instead of spouting off with attitude, why don't you ask more politely for some personal reviews or more current information and see what kind of response you get next time.

btw.. I understand you are referring to yourself with the "n" word... but even used as a slang term in reference to yourself, please refrain from using it on this forum. Not everyone who reads your post may understand what you are saying and some might be offended.

Yeah, the pedal is spongy(er) . If you want it to be right, (as possible) the best thing to do is upgrade the master cylinder.

Easy....Don't be wound so tightly. I was telling you to search for your benefit. I recently searched this topic and came up with alot of useful information that would be a PITA to cut and paste and put it into your thread. This is why I don't post much on here, all these people want answers and all they have to do is RESEARCH, and when I politely inform them that there many topics covering this, they get all E-hurt. Next time I will be a d!ck and say "STFU noob....SEARCH". You are right about one thing though; what a waste of time.
