I switched to 300z front brakes on my s14 because I experienced brake fade one day during 30 minutes of what I thought to be not-so-intense mountain driving. I painted them up real nice, installed them, and although I haven't really put them to the test, for normal driving so far I've had no problems, they work fine.

I've had none of this "mushy brakes" bs or any other problems resulting from not doing the full 4-caliper swap or not replacing my brake cylinder with that of a 300z - all things I've heard mentioned before, I wonder what people are talking about? Of course, I've never driven my car at a track or drift event, etc, so who knows, maybe I'll have those problems when the time comes.
