Default Honda Brake Hybrid

On the June's issue of Honda Tuning there was an article on upgrading the brakes on an EG. The article included the following hardware:
*93-95 Acura Legend Dual piston Brake calipers
*92-96 Honda Prelude VTEC rotors (11.1"(You will have to redrill stud holes))
*Pro-Flo Steel Braided brake lines
*NSX-spec Project u bracke pads
I did some shopping around for these parts and came to the conclusion that this would be a cheap alternative to a better braking solution. Also, my biggest concern is that I do not have to purchase bigger wheels (I have 15") to solve clearance issues. My question is if anyone has really done this setup. Would it really make a difference in my braking? I also drive a Jetta GL and my VW brakes A LOT better than my Integra. Im pushing on 300WHP and my main worries these days is my capability to stop the car when needed. Let me know if someone has done this swap before, and if so, let me know what I need to watch out for. Thanks in advance. I wil be purchasing the parts in the next couple of days, so any advise is appreciated.

....or instead of VTEC Prelude rotors, you can possibly use 89-92 G60 Corrado rotors; I know the bolt pattern is 4x100, and I believe same offset and what not. I never got around to trying as I ran out of money.
