Some brembo blanks and hawk hps pads will be good, You can get them in the marketplace on here fairly cheap

Bigger front brakes are always better than stock puny dx/lx brakes.

Stock civic EX brakes (requires whole hub) are a nice upgrade.

If you dont feel like going that route, some nice brembo blank rotors with AEM or Hawk Pads make a great combo and a significant difference over worn stock rotors/pads.

Goto a junkyard. get integra front and rear brakes calipers and prop valve. Get some new roaters and the HPS pads. Your stopping power will be big pimpin.

Believe me, it is a big difference. Plus the cost of going say with a 99-00 Front brake conversion is probably around the same price if not cheaper as upgrading your stock brakes.

Brembo Blanks $80, Good pads $60 = $140.

99-00 Si Front Brake Upgrade $150-$175.
