Default Quality Brake Upgrade???

Tonight i raced a 300zx to about 100mph, when the race was over i had to slow down for a light up ahead, i didnt have to slam on the brakes but i had to apply some pressure

When i was breaking you could feel it was a little shaky and kinda seemed like it was to much of a load for the stock brakes

I also only have the wearevergolds from advanced auto, but is there a quality brake upgrade that i could do, any suggestions on what to do or where to start. Whats a good brake pad/rotor ect.

Also is there a cheap kit to change to rear disk?

there isnt much you can do until you do a 5 lug conversion.

however the PBR brake upgrade is a good choice...

I might actually be selling my cobra front brake parts pretty soon, and sizing down to the PBR's

Yep, it is a big improvement. I've got Baer Claw 13" on the front and 12" on the rear. The car DOES stop WELL. The only problem with them is you have to run 17" wheels to clear the calipers. And there is NO space saver spare that will work.
