If you care to share your intentions with your car, and offer some insight into your driving style, maybe with some feedback on your experience with other vehicles in the past, I can definitely get you on the right track.

Hello Mr. Gary,

The car is just for street/highway driving. I go fast some time but never beyond 250km/h. I just need a good braking system only during that time.

I had AP6-Front/AP4-rear on my BMW e90 325. The car goes from 200km to 0km impressively.

When talking to friends in BMW club, some said stoptech, and some said brembo. This is a kind of confusing.

I just got a 370z couple of weeks ago, and with 3xx HP, Factory sport brake is no good to me.

I am looking for the brake system that
1. has excellence stopping power even when it is repeatedly used for a certain period of time. let say, 10 mins. (no track day)
2. not bother me the change the brake pad every 5000km, assuming 20000km per set is fine to me.
3. disc should last for about 50000km (two sets of brake pad then change one set of disc is ok)
4. affordable, for example, reasonable prices of the replacement parts
5. available when the parts are needed


Thanks for your advice.
