Default EG hatch - Brake swap questions

I'm finally getting serious about my project car, its going to be a weekend cruiser/ auto -x learning car. eventually will be caged.

Currently a stock 93 Hatch CX, i have under the hood taken care of. I just need to keep it planted and be able to stop it quickly.

Current setup:
Stock 15" Acura Blades w/ 205 50 15 BFG Traction TA sport,
H&R springs - no camber correction
Skunk2 rear upper bar
No-Name front upper bar

I plan on getting Blox/Omni Rear lower arms, Koni adjustibles in the rear w/ some type of sway bar setup, and camber correction.
Front will likley be blox upper arms w/ Koni's and a Neuspeed upper bar, w/ 99 si front sway.

Any suggested setups for brakes? Budget is somewhat tight.

I'm mainly interested in getting discs on the rear, and bigger up front.

Thanks!

efbomb,

good pads and blank rotors should do the trick.

if you're going to upgrade your brakes, it would be ideal to swap to 94-00 integra front knuckles, which uses bigger calipers (stamped 17cl14vn) & 10.3" rotors. you'll need a bigger master cylinder (found from 91 civic ex, which bolts on to your 93 civic cx hatchback's master brake booster).
