The Z's stock brake system in general is good enough (assuming you have the sport pkg brakes), you just need better pads and fluid (which is true of most street cars really). ATE Super Blue or Motul RBF-600 works fine for fluid. I'm running Carbotech's XP-10 pads in front and XP-8 in the rear. There are plenty of other viable low-end track pad options though, if you search around in the track subforum and whatnot there's some discussions. Upgrading to SS braided brake lines is nice for a more responsive pedal feel as well, but not strictly necessary.
