upgrading brakes...
I have a 97 hatch with converted si brakes front and rear. I want to upgrade my rotors, brake lines, pads, and calipers, but unsure which brands to use. Spoon calipers would not fit right? Only for itr brakes? what other calipers would fit? Any info is good. Thanksss.

Slotted rotors do nothing but look pretty. Unless you're running brakes at such high heat that you have to use slotted to shed heat, all you will do is chew up your pads. Slotted offer no performance advantages at most street levels, and a few disadvantages. And if you get slotted and drilled for street, well, then you're just dumber than moose poop.
Also, be careful what pads you use. Some of the higher performance level brake pads won't get hot enough under street conditions, and will also chew up your rotors.
Just get blank replacement rotors from autozone, Cheap and basically disposable.
