300zx Brakes: How does it feel (compared to stock?)
One of my calipers need rebuilt, and while on it, I was thinking to upgrade to 300zx brake and looking for some input
For those who have converted theirs, how does it feel compared to stock? Does the increase in pedal travel bother you? Is it easier to lock up front tires under emergency situation?
I understand that this setup, even with Matt's/Jeff92se's relocation bracket, will improve braking performance in track condition, but I would like to know what's the consequences of this setup.
I would like to better modulate my brakes, which is not happening right now since I could easily lock up my brakes under emergency situation. Does the 300zx setup will give you better modulation (with enough responsiveness) compared to the stock setup?

Superior braking power, better modulation, no noticable increase in pedal travel, drastic fade reduction,if you're going to do this I believe it's worth while to go with bigger rotors either 13" cobra ( mine) Jeff's brackets or the 12.6" Nissan Matt's brackets.
And oh yeah, looks awesome with bigger wheels, hated how same my rotors used to be when I sintalled my 18's
