Little more info would be helpful.

What model civic? Are brake upgrades already done? Pad compounds, brakes from other car, drum to disc swap etc...

What will the car be used for? Daily? Auto-X? Track Days?

Anything else you can think of.

Brembo Blanks with PBR/Axxis Pads.... if you want a complete upgrade, add some GSR rear disc brakes with the same rotors and pads.... stops like a god!

This will give you reccomendations, if youd like to "upgrade" without spending a lot of money on some crappy aftermarket "big brake upgrade" since some of them are truly not worth the money.

The biggest you need to go is Integra brakes. With some good fluid and grabby pads they'll do fine at track days and be fine for daily driving.

If you're not going to track it, just throw Honda pads on there so you don't chew up rotors.

Why "GSR" brakes? All integra's have the same brakes except for the type R.
