Check out their Z34 kit which is the 370Z kit. S/ST models are same as Sport model here in the States.

That is interesting. So is the 148g to 51g weight reduction due to just using a stronger metal like titanium? I don't read the Japanese, so aside from guessing I have no clue what they're talking about.
Best guess is they used Titanium with a thinner cross section to add strength, save weight and Titanium has some better heat properties to boot. I wonder if they did anything to improve the rubber seals for added heat resistance to prevent seal failures.

Project Mu - Upgrade Piston Kit - Nengun Performance
is it really worth it? Any point of putting more money into the stock brakes instead of just getting nice lightweight 2pc brakes. I don't think those are conventional rubber seals.

Any other gain besides weight saving?

Hummmmm. Project Mu upgrade kit or bbk & rotor custom kit? Seems to me the bbk is the better way to go. Obviously significantly more than the upgrade innards but full bbk & rotor assembly is just amazing.
I guess I won't be the guinea pig to try these out first.

Google Japanese to English translation
Since lighter than steel piston that is used as a standard calipers, unsprung weight reduction of the 図Remasu. Also, wear the hard anodized giving a highly specialized lubricant, galling, seizing and suppress.
Aluminum alloy material
Piston aluminum content ( 8 Front / Rear 4 )
Pisutonshirukitto (1 ※ equivalent GENUINE)
differs depending on the caliper seal kit.
Pot and two pot rear facing only four front-facing.
Can also be used when other vehicles are diverted to support the caliper ※.
Changes in product specifications and price, and may discontinue manufacture and sale without prior notice
