Default Are bigger first gen brakes worth the trouble?

Hey all, I recently put a set of asa 15" on my first gen crx and I am now considering a brake upgrade after seeing how puny my front rotors are everytime I look at the car. I know that the first gen teg rotors and calipres swap right over. And for under 100$ this sounds like a good investment. My only concern, is it really worth it? What is the diameter of the new discs? Will I feel a difference at all? I checked on redpepperacing and they only give you how to pull and install which I already know. They give you no after review.

Honestly, we have been happy with the cars we have done the brake swap over one. EF and models after -when the have more power -they need more brakes.
The process of the conversion is easy -and to me -well worth it -always and easy sell to a customer -they have always been happy in the end too.
