I'll say this again, the car with the more experienced/seasoned driver will outbrake the other. Everyone has their preferences, however depending on the application, whether it's for street use or full track use, that'll aid in determining what may work in your favor, for that application.

Let me make this clear, a good % of you (including myself) don't know how to use the brakes to their full potential and without proper training and lots of practice, average street driving won't teach you anything that necessitates upgraded parts. There's a lot more to effective braking than just swapping in supposedly better parts. You need to hone your skills at how to use the brakes, where, how much, when to apply and when to release them. That IMHO pays off a lot more than swapping in "better parts" alone.

Many drivers are adept at their acceleration skills, upshifting, with careful attention towards the proper shift points and gear selections. IMHO, many average drivers share similar skill levels (when on an open track), however the better ones display their differences with their braking techniques.
