| wrong with the OEM brakes when it comes to street driving, "spirited" or otherwise, and on the track while they certainly are not up to serious track driving, they give lots of warning before the brake pedal turns into a "nothing pedal". If you dont notice it, you would have to be retarded or subconsciously suicidal not to. This assumes the cheap upgrades like DOT4 fluid, SS braided lines, and aftermarket pads. If you can overheat your brakes on the street, with those simple but effective upgrades, then first off you need to stop driving unsafely on the street and take it to the track. Only way I can even imagine this happening is if you are romping it all the way down a mountain. Otherwise you are doing stuff you shouldnt be doing on the street. Brakes aren't like HP, you dont get much additional stopping power from BBK's (in terms of stopping distance) what you are getting is durability and massive heat dispersion. Once on the track, you will know within a few laps whether your brakes can handle the heat your driving is generating or not. Only an ass drives his brakes to total failure. Most people with the IQ of a sugarbeet will figure it out long before that and either dial it down some or call it a day and come back with hardier brakes. Regardless, the original poster isn't on OEM brakes anyway. He is going to have to feel out the 350Z rotor kit for himself and decide whether or not he needs to go to the next level in hardware. I suspect eventually, if he keeps going to track days, that this brake upgrade will not hold out as he gets faster, and he will have to go with a more conventional BBK, but that is just my guess.
