Default Front Rotor Question.........

I'm going to replace my stock rotors (03 RK) w/ a set of EBC 5 button floaters. My question is......narrow or wide band ? Does it matter?

If you go narrow, you will need narrow pads and/or narrow calipers to support the narrow pads. The pads have to clear the buttons.

I've been looking at the same floaters and determined that wide-band it is because "...narrow band is for use with smaller aftermarket calipers". Just wondering from whom and how much $$$? I saw them a while back for about $135/ea. but now looks like $179/ea. @ DK is the best deal. Suggestions?
