Icon7 Brake system - stopping!

Ok. We just got done putting the motor and turbo kit together for my girls car, cars started and everything. We used an eg shell this time and need advice on brakes to use. On my integra I have the stock brakes with brembo rotors and hawk pads and it stops well. Now my question is what do you guys suggest we use for the brakes? My buddy Cesar from Sik creations/Stage6 says to use the stock dx brakes and drums. That's what he has and says he stops real well plus you can use 13 inch wheels for the slicks and no spacers needed. He's done 160+mph at the track and stopped fine. So I thought about just doing that. But Cesar only takes his car to the track. Our car will be driven on the streets but just driving once in a while just for my girl to enjoy. Many people say upgrade to at least integra brakes and do a rear disk brake conversation. Etc. Can you guys give me your opinions or some options.

DA brakes on my CRX, dilled/slotted rotors and EBC yellow pads, just front brakes stopped the car from 167. I think T1 is on GRS stock brakes stopping 180+ now

Looks like I'll be doing the gsr brakes then. Do you guys have to use spacers for your slicks?

I am also on gsr fronts with drums in the back. I would like to get rid of the rear brakes, but I drive it on the street sometimes and I think that would be sketchy.
