I have a quick question to everyone that does 4+ piston calipers: What is the purpose, if you are not tracking the car? If you want upgraded brakes why not just go with the Z32 TT brakes?

why even get the z32 TT brakes? i mean the stock ones stop just as fine. just slow down a little bit why upgrade anything at all? i mean the car moves just fine. whats the point of upgrading the engine? how much faster you gonna go really? wake up in the morning, take the kids in the family car to school, get some groceries, bring the family car home, watch oprah, do laundry, i mean... it's a maxima says grandma sanchez. .... i say because it's fun, abuelita. >

Because the z32 calipers are an ancient design. 2 Brand new wilwood calipers can be bought for under $300 shipped. PLus they are forged and super light hence the name fsl. Roughly 4 pounds per caliper.
