As this is posted into the V8 swap thread, I'm going to go off the basis that you have done a swap into this car?

In which case, I would suggest doing a brake upgrade, as you (more than likely) have more power, and more power needs bigger, better brakes to stop it.

Welcome to ZDriver!

S12 calipers up front, 280zx / 240sx rotor upgrade for the rear. There is tons of info about this setup.
