i would most definately upgrade the brakes to teg 4 disk.
all that power wont be stopped by the little DX brakes.

suspension is always a good one. you will see really good results out of a nice spring/strut combo or full coilovers

suspension.. i dont agree with people who say brakes should be your first mod, my 12 y/o stock cx brakes work great with new pads.. way better than either of my parents cars

i dont think either is absolutely necessary... but generally good ideas. but i'd agree, suspension and brakes should come next after a gsr swap when you have the money...

check out this faq list for ideas: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=642479

Definitely brakes!!! I have a B18C in my VX, stock brakes suck. Hard to get Integra brakes on my island, even though everyone and their moms are driving tegs. Someone crash one for me.

if you dont get all four disc brakes then you want front GSR brakes not the back...most of your stopping power is in the front. i recommend you do this before anything else

You need one of those combat body kits to go with that B18! Add some 19's, a phat APR drag wing and some "R" emblems all around. I'm positive all these will give you -25 HP!

J/K ---- definately some discs all around!

I'll have to say that running down a 1/4 track and then hitting the brakes w/ the stock brakes isn't a good feeling. Sure the brakes work fine for daily driving, but if you're goign to take it to the track, get new brakes. Don't even think about taking it to a track event. I'm upgrading my brakes before I head out to Gingerman.
