The Akebono kit in the sport package can dissipate heat much more efficiently and faster than the base brakes.
You need to remember. Nissan designed this as a production car for the road. Note: There are multiple trims available to suit a broad range of needs. That being said there are street pad compounds in the sport brakes and dot 3 fluid which is sufficient enough to stop you from the speed limits to 0 while commuting.
When you go to a track you're entering a specific realm of needs. A great analogy is you don't go to a competition event without the proper gear or training. You wont enjoy it and you won't get the most out of it.
Therefore, upgraded pads and fluids and Stainless steel lines are a must for your safety.
What Nissan has done with our platform is give us a great canvas to start with and the aftermarket (because they exist) gives us something to paint with.
