The only problem I have personally seen with Aerospace was on heavily bracket raced 4-link dragster I bought about 20 yrs ago. It was owned by a highly accomplished bracket racer that probably used the brakes pretty aggressively and it had warped rotors and hats that I had to replace...

What I am suggesting is race within your budget, if 8 had unlimited budget I would have 6 sets of Lamb brakes but for that price I can actually buy a car. I started with drum brakes and moved to 4nwheel disc as my budget and as speed increased and I needed more stopping power. You already have Mark Williams if you got the same for the rear then all the spare parts would interchange. I would have to bet you would have a hard time measuring any ET difference between any of the companies when they are new and installed correctly. Sometimes why it seems like your going faster is because your wallet is lighter.
