Bigger is better, if you have the calipars to match it.

bought X-drilled rotors and pads from STILLEN, broke them in over 300mi light brakeing during break-in. Once I got comfy with the brakes I usually 'buzz' highways late nites, but obviously I have to brake for slower traffic or suspicious cars(cops)
I don't condone this activity, but I have had a close call in NY, in long island, I had to brake from 130mph to as slow as i could in 300ft or so, after that, my brakes went to poop. bled the brakes at mechanics place, even got Motul fluid, and goodridge SS lines, never really felt the same, not enough bite. by the time my pads wore down, i needed new pads, and it was found that my stillen rotors had cracks where they were drilled. Went back to OE stuff, new rotors, new pads, new brake hardware, i know i've warped them, which brings me back to square one, why I went and blew $800 w/ stillen. I found out about 300ZX brake conversion, but I wish there was a kit for my car, I could get calipers and rotors, but lines need custom made ?
its snow outside so for now i'll live with it.
