i got the fastbrakes 11" kit on my 92 si. pretty damn good brakes for the price although i don't think that you will NEED them unless you planning on doing some lapping sessions. good luck with the swap

You won't regret the wilwood kit. I never thought stopping from high speeds could be so confidence inspiring in a Honda. At only about $700 for the kit I think it is an absolute bargain.

I am in the same predicament. I love boosting period, doing it in some type of traffic sucks though--you gotta stand on the brakes when the cars are approaching fast. I have the smaller civic brakes---9.x"---or whatever they are. I also have the integra upgrade which only requires the 10.x" spindles to upgrade to. But, I plan on doing some drag racing and plan on using some 13" slicks. Now, these cant fit on the 10" brakes. What I came to understanding is this: All you gotta do is upgrade to some quality pads--people recommend Hawk--and maybe some Dot4 brake fluid. I have yet to do this, but I think that it will work sufficiently for the person who is concerned about braking hard after boosting.
A good place to ask about braking is gonna be in the competition forum on ht here. Those guys know what they are talking about--just like we know what were talking about when it comes to FI.
