I just had the Stoptech pads installed along with Z1 performance 2-piece rotors. My expectation was that it would enhance the stopping power a bit and look good with some new spokey wheels I am getting made. In reality the stopping power is greaty enhanced, but it is also much "smoother" since you don't need as much brake pressure to slow down the car. Contradicting that statement the braking is also a lot more noisey and there is a lot of brake dust. Under hard braking I feel the slots and drilled holes doing their job through the brake pedal.

I put them to the test this morning by braking HARD to avoid getting rabbit gore all over my Z. The car stayed straight and true and the anti lock braking did not engage at all while reducing my speed greatly and safely.
