Default brake recommendations for integra

need to get a new brake setup for my 00 integra ls, right now i'm using powerslot rotors and ebc greenstuff pads but looking for a bit of an upgrade since its about time to change these. Info on the car:
daily driver hopefully will see a few events
tires I have are eagle f1 gs-d3 and suspension is tein flex coilovers
17'' rims so can fit a big brake kit but most likely wouldn't go with one yet
is turbocharged so need something good enough to slow her down
has 111,000miles on it with lot of old oem parts

I already have the brakes pads: cobalt gt sport brake pads

now looking for some recommendations on a setup that would work good with these.
I did like the powerslot rotors but have heard good things about brembo blanks and brembo slotted rotors any personal experience would be nice.
Any recommendations on calipers if you feel they should be changed or not?
Going with some stainless steel brake lines any you feel work better in particular?
Thanks in advance.

rotors aren't even worth debating. they are a disposable part of the car. pads are the biggest story. the 23t upgrade with prelude rotors is one inexpensive way you can get bigger brakes. it all depends on your driving and how pissed you are at the stock stuff. with a base ls the stock brakes might be fine with a better pad. i'm a fan of the axxis ultimates and hawk hp+

are you having problems fading what you have?

Not too bad of a problem with brake fade but they are definately less capable than when they were new. I have heard of the 23t and looked through the archieves and saw the parts I would need but could not find a really good step by step thread about them. Most of my driving is pretty calm street driving but I do have times on some empty roads where I like to abuse my brakes pretty harshly

type r calipers and brackets milled 3.2mm or 1/8" in the back. 92-96 prelude vtec rotors 11.1" re-drilled to 4X100. And new pads.

you would probably enjoy the axxis ultimates, great cold bite and they take a pretty decent amount of abuse for street pads.
