If he's just daily driving why mod at all? Lol

I disagree. The light weight rotors really lightens up the steering. Not just braking performance.

And as I said before... Not needed just recommended

Any upgrade or modification that improves the car is worth it. Regardless of perceived worthiness. Brakes and handling should be the first thing anyone does If they mod or upgrade anything on a sports car used for track or daily driving. Our Z's are extremely fun cars and I can't think of anyone that's owns a Z that hasn't done some aggressive driving on the streets.

There a few here that will swear they havent done that much less get a speeding ticket while driving their Z.

Just a few more posts and you will see the cape crusaders of safe drivers telling you how bad you are for going fast in a sports car.
