Since you have a DX hatch, to upgrade your brakes you can go with the 99-00 Civic Si, 94-01 Acura Integra (since they are all the same except for ITR), or even 96-00 Civic EX Front brakes. By that I mean the knuckles, calipers, rotors, pads, caliper brackets, etc! Pretty much the whole swap over, you rip your old ones out and put the bigger ones in.
You cannot use any of your DX parts onto the bigger brakes and vice-versa. Member "Brake Expert" however, made a write up on how to keep your DX knuckles and modifying them to make the bigger brakes fit.
