Default Braking Options - '01 LS

Ok here's the deal...

I've got an '01 LS Integra with the stock 4 lug hubs/brakes, I've got at my disposal a full 5 lug ITR brake setup for front and rear (calipers, rotors, pads, hubs, bearings, rear trailing arms), I've got at my disposal a set of front calipers from an NSX, and I've also got the front and rear calipers from my wrecked '04 RSX-S...

I'm already going to be putting on the NA1 NSX front calipers as an upgrade to the front, (using the ITR caliper bracket milled down to clearance spec, stoptech rotors and hawk pads) so I'm not concerned with that...

As for the rear, would I benefit more from just installing the ITR rear brake set up or instead using the RSX-S parts? I've heard contrasting and comparable information between the two. Just want to know which set up for the rear would benefit the most. I plan on using this car for daily driving as well as an outing or two at the track this season...

Any input is appreciated, thanks you guys.

On track, the rear brakes do less than 10% of the work.

Use whatever rear setup will best preserve the proper balance for your proportioning valve with your chosen front setup, so the car isn't problematic on the street.
