aftermarket brakes for 96 civic dx
can i please get some input on what type of aftermarket brake package i should look at for a 96 civic dx. I want to increase the size of the rotors, have them drilled and crosscut and also get new calipers, braided steel lines and the whole works. Also, how much am I looking to spend for parts and installation?

Why?
And why does it have to be aftermarket?

I suggest you go to either a full GSR disk swap, or a 5 lug ITR setup if you want 5 lugs.
Both will be more than enough if you just drive on the street with some good pads and fluid.
Be careful about drilled rotors, some have a tendency to crack around the areas where they are drilled.
Also, slotted rotors will just tear up your pads faster.

And I don't appreciate jacknobs that accuse me of something I'm not trying to do.
I'll take my advice elsewhere. If this is what people are to expect when they try to help you, then you aren't going to get very far here.
"IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO ACCEPT ALL OPINIONS YOU WILL RECEIVE WHEN YOU ASK FOR THEM ON A PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD, DON'T POST VAGUE QUESTIONS."
Apparently you didn't even bother to consider just why I might have asked "why?"
