search and read the Faq @ the top of the page...many different options, personally i did the rear disc DA swap, with 40/40 Prop Valve, 15/16 MC and the Brake booster from a old Prelude. Also swap out OEM rotors with Brembo blanks...My car stops like a Mo fo. Remember Bigger is not always better

brembo blanks and good pads, SS lines and a well bled system goes a very long way.
Good Pads > Big Brake systems.
