OMG You must be rolling in dough! I envy you :]
I don't know anything about 350's, but if you look on the "links" link to the left, they have some online aftermarket suppliers for 350z.

im just saying , youve been on here a while and it seems like you just pick things out of the air without researching at all and without knowing anything about the product. Theres tons and tons of material you can read about this stuff. If you havent been to my350z.com.... GO!!!!! if you seriously are planning on dropping $1.5-4k on a BBK you have to be out of your mind not to visit this site(which you should also have done with the body kit). Like, why do you want "oversized rotors"? Do you even know? whats the purpose? Im not trying to be a jerk but i feel like you arent thinking through or doing any sort of research with any of your mods, which may be the reason you havent had great luck with it. I really am just trying to help. The only way you're going to be able to appreciate your mods and purchase the right ones for your car is if you take the time to learn about what you're purchasing. just my .02 cents
P.S... I certainly dont claim myself to be an expert modder. My Z is my first car and the only mods I have are clear corners and a popcharger. I really dont go to any meets or anything and am certainly not very experienced with working on cars. Most all the knowledge I have about this stuff comes from reading.

StopTech. The front kit is all that you need for most applications, unless you are a hardcore racer. I have the 13.1" (4 piston calipers) front and 12.9" rear (2 piston calipers) with red calipers all around on my Daytona Blue Z. For practical purposes I could have done without the rear, but it looks good.
Also no bias issues with the StopTech kits, front or front and rear. They are designed to work with the stock master cylinder. No adjusting required.

do i really need the brake kits??????????????
i need a z32tt convertible 5 speed
A:
no not really unless you are constantly haveing to stop from high speed... and also ridding the brakes all the way down... as for myself i usually try to allot myself the space to coast down to a reasonable speed to down shift and only assist with brakes... so as you can imagine i only touch my brakes when i have to...
Also, ZPirate, this is the reason i chose Stoptech... because they work with stock components... Great chioce man... i plan on getting black or silver for mine... car is silver, it just depends on what color i decide with the rims... hypersilver or gunmetal? i will pick the opposite for the brake calipers... contrast reasons...
Also has anyone else noticed the problem with the stock non-brembo brakes? it happens like every 4 times i press on the brakes with about light to moderate pressure the brakes growl or buzz and the pedal moves down considerably... this also is a safety hazard i actually tapped a guy's rear bumper because of this... i needed to stop and normally pushed the brakes it did this crap and i couldn't stop in time... tapped his a$$...
we went to the nearest parking lot and examined and the guy was in a hurry so he looked at his car which had no damage so he just left without talking... but now i have spider cracks on my front bumper...
anyways i was told that it was an ABS problem but want the opinion of a few of the gear heads on here... this is also the reason i am considering a full brake swap...
