I hope your not being scarasitic. if you are
Stock brakes are terrible if you turbo your car.
I'd go with Some brembo blanks and axxis ultimates. The brembo blanks are pretty cheap, about the same price as getting your stock rotors turned.
Id go with wilwood if I had the money. - but you need 17's I beleive.

No really, I haven't looked into brake upgrades much.

Yah I gotta run 17" rims with my Wilwood setup. If I were running smaller rims I would either go with the Fastbrakes setup or upgraded lines/pads.
Damn wilwoods look soo good though

yes but with a turbo, you get there so much faster so much more often.
at least i do.
if i was keeping my car, the first thing i would do would be to upgrade the brakes. having them fade at 100+ scared the **** outta me.

Re: (JSMC)
I don't see the reason for upgrading, road race and AutoX guys beat the hell out of their brakes for extended periods of time and have no problems using stock, or near stock, setups. You will not stop sooner with a big brake kit, they will just be more resistant to fade, unless you are pushing the stock system beyond its limits save your money.

I had the same set-up as above and the braking was horrible... I bought a set of brembo blanks up front and front/rear Hawk HP plus race pads and they stop 100x better

yea but with turbo you get there quicker and with much more momentum which takes more force to slow down.

Re: (BoostedH23a1)
Anyone see this on fastbrakes?
http://www.fastbrakes.com/prod...BH03A
Its an 11" setup for civics/CRX that have 9.5" stock brakes, and it uses all OEM parts.
Pretty cheap too.
