Standard versus Sport brake for track day

I ask because, here in Canada, the base 370Z is 30k and the model with sport brake is 46k!!! 16k for not so much better brakes.. :-(

Not much better? The sport brakes are a LOT better than the base ones.

Something does not add up. 46k is Nismo tech territory. Isn't the sport model around 35k?

You get more than brakes, you get spoiler, vLSD, nicer 19" wheels, and Rev-match if you opted for 6MT.

And maybe you have a fully loaded model and very basic model, which make the price difference a lot, for instance, here on the other side of the world, we only get fully loaded 370z with sport package.

and yes you can get better than sport brakes for less than 16k, but I don't think you can get brakes + LSD + Forged 19" wheels + tires + installation costs for less than 16k even though you may get better options than OEM


just my 2 cents

Yes, it's either base or full loaded. The thing is I don't need all the other bits.

If you only want the brakes, you can always get them used or from Z1 for a complete kit with great price, or go for a better option for less than the difference.

Or you can piece your own together and save even more money.
