I always like to use factory stuff where possible, pick up some 90-91 civic ex knuckles, and a rear disk conversion, with some brembo blanks (or stock rotors) and some quality pads. You will like it, and you will like the price. My 2 cents. Ryan

dont buy through http://www.fastbrakes.com, hard to believe, but they actually charge more than some of their retailers. hybrid garage is a really good source.... http://app1.hybridgarage.com/store/hgrstore.pl

You can use a GSR brake conversion if you want to save some money. It's a lot better stopping power than the stock Civic or CRX brakes too.

Fastbrakes or Civic EX knuckles. Integra knuckles alter the suspension geometry of the car, and are not recommended.

If you just want to stop your vehicle, pick up a set of good pads (Porterfield, Carbotech, etc.). But if you're going for looks, a big brake upgrade is what you want. The stock brakes are more than capable of stopping our cars though.
