VTR/VTS use vented discs as standard. Best bet with a 1.1 is to fit vtr/s brakes, that is discs, calipers and pads. Will vastlly improve your stopping power and will be more than enough for the power produced by your car unless you do an engine swap or something. Cheap upgrade as well.

The vented part of it wont effect braking power at all, it just allows heat to dissipate much faster so they don't fade as fast.
