I have the good fortune of having an Si with stock four wheel discs. All I have done is Brembo blank rotors and EBC Green Stuff pads in the front and Red Stuff pads in the back. I also have SS brake lines that are sitting in my apartment (and not on my car 
)

I have the Baer Track front kit, consisting of 13" rotor and huge two piston PBR caliper. In the rear is the Baer Touring kit which is a 12" rotor and a smaller single piston PBR caliper. No more parking brake.

Re: What Brake Upgrade Set-up are you guys using? (99civic_exSB)
you can sometimes find the complete gsr suspension w/booster&mc for around $600.
I'm running with stock 98ex front setup, brembo blanks w/aem pads. '00 SI rear discs, powerslots w/aem pads. Also using ATE Type 200 brake fluid.
You given any thought to going for an EX front setup and GSR/SI rear setup? Might be quite a bit cheaper than a GSR setup. The EX/SI fronts are the same and only diff between EX/SI and GSR fronts is the GSR calipers are slightly bigger.

Re: What Brake Upgrade Set-up are you guys using? (Chris y0!)
Ha ha. I would prefer to keep my 15" wheel set-up so that limits my big brake options. Does any company sell a complete GSR kit w/instructions? Looks like these come up pretty often on ebay but I want to be sure I have all of the pieces.

I am using full GSR setup with upgraded crossdrilled rotors in front. still don't stop fast enuff for me. i'm considering upgrading to AEM or Tenzo R big brake kit. Can't afford the good stuff like Wilwood.

Re: What Brake Upgrade Set-up are you guys using? (gezer)
6 bills is way to expensive. I got my GSR brakes plus M/C, booster, and prop for 350$. Look around and you can find a deal.
I also have cobalt friction rotors and axxis ultimate pads.
