Message Well time has come to upgrade the stock brakes a notch. Right now everything about my brakes are stock. Normal rotors, unknown brake pads, unknown brake fluid and normal brake lines. I plan on changing all the rotors, installing SS lines, Changing the pads and completely flushing the old brake fluid and using a new brake fluid. Also going to purchase a brake master cylinder brace also.

At the moment I'm looking at two package deals that Coz sells on his site. I don't want to buy the parts individually since it's more of a hassle waiting for all of them to come in and what not. I need oppinions on which package to get. The car is street used and a daily driver.

>>>Package 1- CZP 300ZX Upgraded Brake Kit - Brembo La-Z-Link

Includes:
Brembo Rotors (Combination of Cross Drilled, Slotted and Dimpled)
PBR Metal Master pads (front and back)
SS Brake Lines (front and back)
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid (1 Liter)

Pros:
Includes everything needed.
Good for a person on a budget.

Cons:
$50 shipping fee.
Not enough brake fluid to completely flush the system?..


>>>Package 2 - StopTech 300ZX Stage 2 Package, $1 Shipping La-Z-Link

Includes:
Stoptech Front & Rear Rotors (Cross-Drilled or Slotted)
Front & Rear Axxis Ultimate Pads
Front & Rear Stoptech Brake Lines
3 Bottles of Motul Racing Fluid

Pros:
Includes everything needed.
$1 shipping is great.

Cons:
A bit more pricey.
Takes 1-2 weeks to ship.

Totall:
Package 1: 450 + 50 (shipping) + 40 (master cylinder brace) + 8 (shipping on the brace) = $548.

Package 2: 599 + 1 (shipping) + 40 (master cylinder brace) + 8 (shipping on the brace) = 648.

Which one would you guys recommend for a 2+2 NA that is street driven. The first package will save me $100 but I don't want to save $100 dollars if that means I will have less quality brakes. I don't want to cheap out on brakes since they are very important and I already had enough close calls.

If you guys have any oppinions go ahead and post. Always glad to hear what people have to say about these matters.

Thank you :)
