$1395+shipping at Arizona Z car. http://www.arizonazcar.com/350zbrakes.html. I got the fronts only for now.
At first I was going to go with the Evolution Autosports, but it seems that kit is on back order. I just couldn't wait anymore so I went with the Arizona Z car kit.
These are custom painted candy apple red. I was told that powder coat traps in the heat. Above all I wanted these brakes to be functional. Hopefully, I get to test them at the track soon!

looks great!!! i was reading their website though on the rear bbk and it says that buyers will lose parking drum brake. does that mean that you lose all of the parking brake or just a component of it?

I think you completely lose the parking brake for the rears. That's is partly the reason why I haven't done the rears yet.
I'll either get a line lock or go with the rear kit from Evolution, which does retain the parking brake. I think it more important if you drive a 6MT.

I just personality know the person that builds the Wilwood systems. This is one of the best engineered systems out there. The 13" and 14" BBK kit works with the park brake.
This is a r/r kit and one of the best bang for the buck install you can get. Email my buddy Sherwin if you think this is a joke. Sherwin@BrakeZone.com

PS any questions? So do you think your brakes work now?
Oh check for other devices on your car. Pasta

Just to alleviate any confusion. There are about four different Wilwood kits out there. Two are made by Brakezone/Evolution.
Brakezone/Evolution:
14" - 6 piston front/4 piston rear
13" - 4 piston front/4 piston rear
parking brake is retained
http://www.brakezone.com/index.html, http://www.evolutionautosports.com/
RMS Horsepower:
13.6 - 6 piston front/4 piston rear
parking brake is retained
http://www.g35brakes.com/
Arizona Z car:
13" - 6 piston front/4 piston rear
parking brake is eliminated
http://www.arizonazcar.com/350zbrakes.html
I think the presence of the parking brake is dependent on what kind of hat is used.

Why is there such a steep price difference between the Arizona Z Car site and the others? Looks like it's a 500 dollar difference alone for the fronts.
Plz advise
