I've got the q45 swap on mine. I can't imagine needing any more brake. Its really easy to lock up the tires and they don't fade at all in repeated high speed stops. The z32 should be plenty.

A full Z32 set-up is plenty of stopping power. However if you have an eye on the Brembos, consider the Wilwood kit. It checks in at less than half the cost of the Brembo kit even with the 6 piston calipers.

well i would go at least z32 before doing q45. fixed caliper is going to be lighter and is going to fade much slower and cool faster than q45 which is fixed piston.if you have the money enjuku racing has a slae on the wilwood kits for 240's for 999.99 the whole wilwood kit is lighter than just one z33 rotor lol.
