Certainly a solution for the occasional weekender.. and the calipers on the Z are an improvement from previous years, and will hold up to some abuse taken to the track with an improved rotor and high-temp street pads.

These are not track brakes for anyone remotely serious, and will increasingly show their weakness when pushed, especially as the horsepower increase, driver comfort increases, and guys taking things a level further.

Everything is a balance to the level you want to be at, and usually ramps based upon any build, and brakes end up being one of the last modifications, despite having the most impact when truly putting them in the ultimate arena, the track.
