The brakes DO work well...my complaint with them is that it doesn't take long under spirited driving for them to overheat and for fade to set in. You shouldn't be FORCED to upgrade the rotors, pads, lines and fluids to get high peformance braking from a car touted as having high peformance capability.

Still not interested in the added expense of the Nismo for the marginal gains in performance and (to my eyes anyway) silly ricer looks.
