for the money GSR fron knuckles and calipers with good rotor and hawk pads are the way to go. For EG 40/40 prop valve and a 91 civic EX master cylinder.

for willwood. The 11.75 kit is the biggest you can go for a 15 inch wheel. The 12.2 will require a larger rim size.

DC Integra brakes will most likely be your best bet. GSR/LS/GS whatever, they're all the same. Those with a good sized master cylinder (15/16" or 1"), decent pads (I'm a Cobalt man myself, http://www.cobaltfriction.com but Carbotech also has great stuff http://www.carbotecheng.com) will do the job just fine, and everything bolts right up. Wilwoods are just silly for you, and more money than you'll want to spend. Rotors are also nightmarishly expensive.

MAJOR Edit: However, I just noticed you live in Spain? That **** might be hard to get there. If that's the case...hmm...talk to some of the other European guys, they'd be able to make more informed opinions about what's available.

Yes, that would be right. You really don't need to upgrade the rear brakes, even if they're drums. The disc brakes are heavier, though changing rotors and pads is (I think) easier and more convenient. For the fronts, you'd need calipers, rotors, and spindles. I think $305 is kind of a lot of money for that though, but maybe I'm wrong.

you could also use the gsr knuckles with 95 acura legend gs calipers or nsx calipers but the legend gs caliper pistons are bigger.

That's way overkill for starting out. Integra calipers will be fine for a noob.

Again, don't worry about that. It's not a direct bolt-up thing, and with your location you might have trouble getting replacement pieces (rotors for example). Get something that's more accessible/common to your location.
