Brakes are unlimited in Lemons. If you decide to run Chump, you're going to get a lot of scrutiny with Wilwoods. They have a 2x OEM cost for brakes to discourage Bremobs and things like that.
If I can get Wilwoods for my car for $1000, that's about 1/2 the price of a brake system from the dealer anyway. Which is one of the reasons I think the Chump's 2X rule is worthless.
I ended up spending about $700 replacing the entire brake hydraulic system on the 240Z, then we run race pads that cost about $300 for front and rears. We have two sets of pads front and rear so we were into them for a bunch of money.
A former team mate said we could have run Wilwoods for what we spent and that their pads would be about $70 per axle. So if you have to replace an entire system like I did or find a great deal on a used system, you could potentially save some money.
When I talked to various suppliers for Z car brake upgrades, a lot of them offered stuff using stock parts but quit using or carrying a lot of kits because they said it was really more effective to go to a system like Wilwood.
If their race pads are around $70, that is about 1/2 price compared to the Porterfields we run on stock calipers.
I didn't really look into an option using non-stock parts but I did spend a lot more money than I thought I would.
The brakes on the car are more than it needs and flat spotting tires can happen really easily and happens more than I would like. Then again we did flat spot some tires due to a spin so brakes aren't the only way to flat spot tires.
Inexperienced drivers and aggressive non-ABS brakes are likely to flat spot a lot of tires.
Brake upgrades also depend on the car. Some cars have better stock systems than others.
