looks like they fit inside alot of wheels...

The braking distance is considerably shorter when I have the PFC 97 race pads upfront (so incredible that my butt tells me it's less than 100ft from 60mph). not sure about Axxis street pads (probably a little better). The pedal feel... I don't remember anymore as to how it compares to the stock setup, but I'd guess it's firmer.

The main reason for going with a big brake kit is to eliminate fading of the pads and cracking of the rotors. The big brake kit is useless on the street.

why exactly is a big brake kit useless on the street? if my 350 is going to stay mainly on the street...what brake upgrades can you guys reccomend? thanks

If your Z is going to stay on the street there are no upgrades that you need for your brakes. The stock Z brakes are awesome.

thats cool...are they good enough even if i plan on going forced induction in the future?

If the car is going to stay on the street then definately yes; you could go with better brake pads, but that would be about it.

buy hawk hp pads if you want different ones... not positive they have them for the 350, but they should. from what I hear they are the best street brakes you can buy... and a good price too
