forget both buy some brembo rotors and axxiss utlimate or hawk brake pads and stainless steel brake lines --- better stopping power than either setup

i highly doubt that because i am getting a lot more braking power with 2 pistons instead of one and im going with brembo rotors anyways, and im not spending money on brake lines for now...thanx anyways tho...

i think the vetech rotors actually engage another caliper once you break and your RPMS are over 5300 rpm, lol.

actually, i would also go with the brembo, good choice.
