VS UTE - Brake Upgrade ( Opinions )

[oohitsLUCAS]

Hey guys,
i know this has been asked before, but what is the better brake upgrade for a VS ute, dont get me wrong the brakes on the VS are amazing, but im doing a build on this ute and i thought while im there might as well upgrade the lot, im just woundering which ( from experiance ) is a better brake upgrade.

Also probably going to try track down braided hoses for down there as ive heard it can make your ride 110% better and saver then normal. Correct me if im wrong.

1. VT Brake & Caliper Upgrade - I understand that this involves getting a mixture of parts as i believe it mainly involves longer brake lines, VT brake master cylinder, and a Spacer plate.

2. DBA Upgraded Brakes - I've heard of a few people using these but not really sure of what they are using as far as calipers probably a 2 piston style caliper.

3. Also saw a post in my search by ' knowledge_is_power ' in 2006 and he said:
330mm rotors front (Up from 289mm stock VS) &
315mm Vented rears (Up from 279mm solid rotors)
With Corvette Calipers. Twin piston front, single rear.
Would these fit under a set of say 19" rims.?

I've tried my hardest to research things that interest me in my builds, because i hate being the guy that people say, " listen mate. this topic has been covered 400000000 times maybe you should go research " . but yeah so guys i have done my research around.

If anyone knows any places to pick up similar style things please link them below and maybe a ballpoint figure, ive looked into the DBA ones but couldnt find much on the others. If you've got a better idea of a upgrade down there. Please Explain

Regards.
Lucas

vt up grade does a good job,,,,,and is pretty cheap to do if you get the parts and do it all yourself...can all be done for under $300

just go to the wreckers and get the vt calipers and hubs. everything bolts straight back up just get a wheel alignment

VT upgrade if you want to spend less than $500.

If you want a better brake combo, get the VE brakes from Greg at GSLrallysport (forum sponsor) around $750-$1000 depending on your package.
