Looking for new brakes all around on my Si...
I'm looking to buy new rotors, calipers, and pads for the front and back on my 93 Si, I was wondering what brand/brands would be best to go with and how much exactly am I looking to spend. I don't know much about this part of the car but I've heard good things about Brembo rotors. Suggestions would be great I have no clue what direction to go in with this. Thanks

More aggressive pads with stock sized rotors work well on the street. I ran PBR metal master for years and loved them 
My father also owns a civic and is running axxis metal master pads on new Brembo OE rotors and is experiencing rotor warpage issues. I've heard mixed results about using the axxis pads with stock rotors, but the concensus is that if you're using an aggressive pad, you should stup up to slotted or drilled rotors
The Baer and brembo big brake kits are nice though.

I would suggest just regular blank rotors from Autozone accompanied with Axxis Ultimates brake pads. Not too sure about the calipers. GSR maybe? Don't know.
