Yup if you can afford 19's for civic then get the Brembo Gran Turismo kit or Baer

I heard Brembo is good. Also, Wilwood is good also but its going to cost you $$$$..

5 lug conversion, and Stoptech...
Of course then I guess you would need new 19 inch wheels. Oh well.

Personally I think that ITR 5-lug conversion and some aftermarket calipers would be a better way to go. Course I'm one of those form > fashion weirdos...

he has 19's. I think its safe to say the brakes will never get used in the way they were meant to. He is just looking for the best brake system that looks good and give him points style wise.
Stay Brembo or Baer. WilWood looks to dull compared ot those.

Brembos for sure if you got the cash. I was on their site not too long ago and I swear it was like $3000 for the kit. And thats just the front brakes.

AP Racing
Stillen
Brembo
Baer
Endless
Fastbrakes
Stoptech
StainlessSteel Brakes
etc....
there are tons of options out there, see if you can get a sponsorship since its a showcar.
the best looking would be a Big Red upgrade using Porsche Big Red calipers and rotors.

Who buys rotors for LOOKS? I think APC makes those cool "Big brake rotor" simulators! You should get 4.

He's buying bigger brakes to fill the space under his 19s, that's pretty obvious.
That said, go with Baer or Brembo or Stoptech, etc , they all have 13"+ kits, IIRC.
Have fun wasting money, buddy.
