Re: brake upgrade (tcwcrxhf)
I have actually looked into this as well... and I think Passwordjdm.com has a ITR front knuckle upgrade as well as the rear setup to get a 5 lug pattern and bugger calipers and rotors.

Just go to any local junkyard and get yourself a set of DA front brakes with an Accord Lxi Master Cylinder(15/16) and leave your rear alone and get the DA Prop Valve(40/40). These right here is more then enough brakes for our little cars.
The Master Cylinder is a direct bolt on. There is no need to rebend any lines.
The DA brakes clear 14' wheels with some grinding of the front of the caliper which doesn't affect the caliper in anyway hence I have crx si stocks on all corner in my hathcie or if you already have bigger wheels you won't have a problem there. People say you will have cambering issues and guess what - I do not have any cambering issues' and my hatch is also droppped on Neuspeed Springs and KYB AGX's on all corners.
Of course these is only advice and my opinion. These will also come out alot cheaper.
There are other alternative's like getting an EX Master Cylinder(15/16) from the 4dr sedans' but those are a rare find unless you purchase one new. Also, getting the front knuckles as well. You can go to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for that if you wish.
You can also use a DA Master Cylinder and Brake Booster but that is a little more complecating and I think the DA MC is (1' instead of 15/16) and I think that swap requires rebending of brake lines and I have also heard of clearance issues with strut tower bars.
You can go ITR 5 lug which is very nice in every aspect from braking to bling factor but that is also a pretty penny.
You can contact me on the DA brake swap or the Accord MC swap.
You can contact Driven on the EX knuckle swap.
You can contact El Vap133 on the DA MC/Booster swap.
Hope these helps.
Good Day,
