GSR front brakes.. you'll most likely have to get the entire hub assembly.. but its a great upgrade.. i had a set on my CX.. you could also do rear discs seeing how cx's came with shitty drums..

thanks for the input but in looking to upgrade my brakes, not my rotors. I also heard that drilled and slotted rotors are not good at all unless you do very heavy braking (ie track/circut). I also know how to do it Im just looking for what brands/type you would use. like GSR, SI, etc...

don't get fooled by paying more money for 'GSR' brake components.

the calipers and rotors are the same all the way for the RS/LS/GS and GSR Integra's. (part numbers are all the same)

99-00 si front and backs will also fit, your gonna need the soft line on the rear, that runs to the body where the hard line starts. also some 92-00 civic ex rear disks, I don't know if the fronts are any bigger or not though. when you bleed them start the furthest from the master cylinder and work your way towards it.
