i like my factory brakes, but i would LOVE a set of AP brakes.

It's cheaper to use lower-cost materials than it is to invest the time and money into developing more efficient manufacturing processes.
To Spearfishes point, we are definitely benefiting from volume discounts. It's just very expensive to put racing-quality calipers on a (relatively) cheap production car like the Z.
