I learn somthing new everyday.
That means the 11.75" front and 11.0" rear are going to be real upgrades when i get em.

Yes it will. BUT, remember, bigger rotors = more rotating mass. More rotating mass = takes more energy to stop. While getting bigger rotors is a perfomance upgrade, if they are to big, they will completely defeat the purpose. Hence why big brake kits are usless for Honda's. Unless someone put 20's on their car.
Just something to think about when you buy them.

Excellent way of putting it.

That's a good point. Unless you are doing some serious track driving a fresh set of stock-sized rotors, some better than stock pads, and some new brake fluid should make for more then enough stopping power. Just remember to not go too aggresive with your pad choice.

That's true, and yes I took that into consideration, however I plan on giving my car a freshly built motor and that lovely edelbrock turbo kit as well, so it won't matter.
edit: I also have more clamping force when I throw on some new pads, upgrade to stainless lines and change the fluid to dot 4? or was it 5? I'll have to look that up.
Soo... the extra what 10 pounds these things carry won't make that much of a difference especially since you're gaining more clamping force.

haha I hate me too, just wish I could afford it now.
Here's the rotors. I'm probably going to go with some Hawk pads instead of the ones they give you.

Heh, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that if you're talking about the Si version.

You don't want that one anyway 
. I was gonna get that one, but then I saw thishttps://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1011383 
. Actually, I had been wanting a bigger turbo for a long time, that T28 or whatever they are giving with the Edelbrock kit just isn't going to cut it. But I have heard that they are awesome kits!
