Spoon or Endless. Wilwood doesn't have dust seals for street use. If you plan on keeping your ABS (if you have it), I'd advise against any kit that doesn't offer a major upgrade for the rear brakes.

Fastbrakes offers a rear upgrade and his upgrades mostly use OEM parts that would allow proper ABS function (as opposed to increasing your stopping distances w/ 4-piston front calipers only setup).

In that case, will Spoon and Endless preserve the ABS?

not like I have ABS on my car, I am just curious.

thanks

It's not preserve, so much as fool it. Big brakes make the ABS think it's locking up, so it releases the caliper, causing longer stopping distances.

Big rear brakes balance out the system (ABS or no ABS) so the front brakes don't do as much work.

Fastbrakes.com sells a large rear rotor kit if you can't find one elsewhere, using OEM 300ZX rear rotors.

AEM is considered a joke in the competition forum.
