Then Z1 is the best place I've found other than picking up a used set, but people seem to want a lot for their used calipers so u r only saving $100-$200 from buying brand new ones, so I'm leaning towards new ones. I've found a few other sites that sell just the calipers for about $450 a set, I think z1 is around $1400 for calipers, pads and rotors

If you have Base Breaks and swap to Sport Calipers you will need:
*Braided Lines or stay stock (Best Lines are from Goodridge) Z1 are fine *Steel Intermediate Line that runs to the proportioning block to Caliper *Calipers - Buy set of Infinity Calipers and have them Powder Coated any color you want. Will still be cheaper that buying 370z Calipers. * Set of Sport Rotors Some guy's attach the steel braided line directly in to the calipers. That will give you a softer feel. Routing the line through the proportioning block will give you the feel your looking for. Don't for get there is a difference in Brake Booster from Base to Sport so you will be using base booster with sport calipers. Minor size difference in the piston is not an issue for the swap. You can get one on ebay for 100.00 or just leave the base booster in, difference isn't really that noticeable. Z1 package is good, but you have to ask for the steel adapter line that runs from the back of the caliper to the stock proportioning block. This is what I have on my Sophie....

Also the Base Booster is smaller piston but not by much. My guess is that the booster and lines going directly into the caliper may be why there is no difference in feel. Another base caliper swap I did I noticed that the brake line ends are designed for the brass block creating a solid seal (Pressure Fitting). The back of the caliper wasn't the same. It is set up for the steel brake line flange. That customer had to come back twice. It was difficult to tighten down and stop a small leak. You are using the threads to seal at the connection when going directly into the caliper with a braided line. I would get the steel hard line extensions and ebay for the blocks. If its still soft after that, 100.00 Booster Swap last resort. The hard lines and blocks will fix the soft feel, proper sealing of the fittings, no air, tight feel.
