Default brakes for 94 integra rs

i have a 94 integra rs body with N/A with 220 hp at the wheels. i want to upgrade my brakes, The car is a daily driver/track car. I was looking at the spoon brakes but their too much for my budget and with the research i done, i understand the upgrading to ITR, NSX/Legend GS/Wilwood would do and could be done for under $600. Wilwood kit $575 new, used legend gs calipers and good rotors around $400, itr upgrade is $350. I just can't deside wich one to get. I tried searching for stopping distances on all three but i just found the one for the itr, which i believe was at 116 ft. Do you guys know which of the three would give me the best stoping power??? the only bad thing about the wilwood would be that i need to get bigger rims. I would really appreciate the help.

So from the info below i calculated that the type R brakes stop 19% quicker than standard integra brakes.From 60mph--0. I believe they say that wilwood would improve brakes by 30%.

Integra Specs( i got them from http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache...&ct=clnk&gl=us

You have an RS which doesn't come with ABS. Does you car have ABS? You won't be able to achieve the stopping performance of a Type-R without ABS unless you're an expert at threshold braking.

By the way, those stopping distances for everything but the Type-R are incorrect. I have seen a motorweek test of a 94 GSR sedan that did 60-0 in 118 feet.

I forgot the R5 doesn't come with abs. So will the itr brakes not work with the rs model or it won't make a difference?

The ITR has 5-lug hubs so the rotors aren't compatible. I'm not sure about the other components.

Only the 97+type R are 5 lug. And they do sale the conversion at hmotorsonline.com but they are $900.
