Re: igor i gotta question
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.

Re: igor i gotta question
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.

Re: igor i gotta question
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.

Re: igor i gotta question
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
