Honda Civic big brake kit comes in the range from $1425 to $1950, Buy Brembo Honda Civic Big Brake kits which has excellent for stopping power as well as high performance street and track driving.

Keep it simple. An NSX brake kit with Hawk HPS pads would be nice.

Dont spend the money on a Wilwood or similar.

2 piston Legend brakes are a cheap upgrade. The calipers are much easier to source than NSX and less expensive. They'll fit under some 15" wheels with little or no modification. Depending on the year and trim of your Civic, there are simple master cylinder upgrades that can be done that will better handle the larger brakes.
