Just my 2c here. We've gone round and round about this on the 240Z.org
list, and the end result has been that properly maintained and adjusted
stock brakes are great! If your 240's stock brakes aren't up to snuff,
it's because there's something *wrong*, not because the design isn't good
enough.
In my case, I was pretty dissatisfied with my stock brakes - I was ready to
do all sorts of radical things. Then, just for kicks, I adjusted my rear
brakes; boom- night and day difference - no slop in the pedal, smooth,
stable braking, no noticable fade (street use).
