yes, you'll feel a difference when you change over to the ITR 5-lug brakes.

the ITR has bigger rotors, bigger calipers/pistons.

combine that with an ITR mastercylinder and you should feel a huge difference over your stock EJ6 brakes.

You spelled brakes wrong. If you do the swap the car will brake better, simple as that.

Alright so i decided what im getting...
Going from stock EJ6 (1996 civic dx) brakes...
to
JDM ITR 5 LUG conversion
KVR Rotors and Pads
Brake booster (Or whatever thats called)
Stainless steel brake lines
(Brake distance will be better and noticeable right?)

What else can I get to get the best braking possible, but not at too much of an expensive price.... Like i dont want those huge 5 thousand dollar brake kits....

your brakes are as good as the tires themselves. Make sure to have good ones or you'll lock up the ones you have all the time and they'll be worthless.

I have very good tires I never go cheap on those.
Well I have Yokohama S Drive...not sure if those are exactly "Good" but its what i get because i get really good deals on them.

once you swap to 5 lug you can increase breaking by swapping the proportioning valve and the itr brake mstr cylinder is larger its A 1" bore IN STEAD OF 3/8 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT "a humongous difference comes with that 1 extra lug"
i wish i could get my 5 lug back.
