Default Brakes

My brake pads are just about gone but since it's winter and my S is going to be garaged for a few months I figured I'd just change the brakes completely. I've been researching a few brands but I'm not sure which kit will clear my wheels. Does anyone have any ideas or has a brake kit that will clear a 17-18" wheel with about +40 offset, give or take? I know 13" rotors will fit but my biggest concern is whether the calipers will fit.

I want to redo the brakes and suspension so I can track it a little harder next summer. I'm planning to supercharge or turbo it next winter but I'd rather have the handling and control before power.

what kind of tracking? auto x?

a cheap upgrade is the accord brake retrofit...

an expensive but better option is spoon brakes.

but id suggest just buying good brake pads and hitting the track and getting used to stronger brakes before you spend huge money on it.

How much is a Spoon big brake kit? A lot of guys I see that upgrade their brakes with Chin Motorsports use Stop Tech. Good stuff.
