A GSR front and rear disc brake upgrade would be a wiser choice unless you already have an Si. You could even just get front GSR brakes and use the 02-03 SI rear disc brake setup.

Or if he wants bigger calipers...you can use Legend Calipers which are 2-pot and I belive Prelude Rotors.
All you need to do is grind down the caliper mounting bracket to be flush

Well you have a few options
you can buy a "big brake kit" and it will only include a larger rotor and I think bigger brake pads. AEM sells that kit.
If you have the money you can upgrade to a real big brake kit which will inlude a larger 2/4 pot caliper, rotor, pads and the rest you need to install it.
Remember tho...the larger the caliper and rotor the larger wheels you will need. Some kits requre you to run 17" rims since the caliper will rub with any less.
Good luck man
AEM
BAER
Wilwood all make brake upgrades
check them out

No I don't have them. Can't afford them since I am a poor college student. If I was into autocross or something I'd think about it. I'm ridin stock. I have rode in a hatchback with that kit and it could stop a hell of a lot better than mine.

Re: (lovemyhonda)
go to fastbrakes.com
are you road racing? if not it's kinda a waste of money. But fast brakes sells 11inch front a rear real cheap.
