    Go for a VT setup, VS isn't really much of an upgrade. Have a search around, it's been covered a fair bit.

    screw the vs setup, buy a VT conversion kit of ebay roughly between $600 - 650, includes adapter hubs, new rotors, new calipers, braided lines, brake fluid and pads im pretty sure.

    Easily the best and easiest upgrade, and its pretty cheap aswell

    go this setup, parts are cheaper in the long run

    u can always look out for the group A big brake upgrade 328mm rotors and twin pots, but getting replacement rotors are expensive, trust me.

    The VE upgrade is the better option for sure, it comes in two different sized rotors depending on what size your rims are. No need to replace the booster or master cylinder either.
