Default brake setup for 90 CRX

im looking into getting some performance rotors and pads with a stainless steel brake line for my 1990 crx si.

ive already called a bunch of places and ive narrowed it down to these 2 setups.

For $477 i can get some EBC blackdash slotted rotors (front and rear),
EBC ceramic red stuff pads (front and rear)
and also a russel stainless steel brake line.

I can also go with this set up-
Rotora slotted rotors, hawk hps, and a russel or goodridge stainless steel brake line for around $550.

im just looking for some daily driving and some aggresive driving, not any track or anything so im not sure which set up would be best here. im kinda on a budget so any suggestions would help! thanks!

Avoid anything EBC.

Don't waste money on slotted rotors. Autozone blanks work fine.

Hawk HPS are fine, but don't kid yourself, standard Raybestos ceramics work best for street.

Default Re: brake setup for 90 CRX

ive been hearing many different opinions from everybody so im not really all to sure where to go with all this.

My friend told me to go with cross drilled rotors w/ hawk ceramic pads w/ stainless steel brake line.

other people have told me to go with slotted rotors (rotora, EBC, brembo) w/ hawk hp street performance pads w/ russel brake line.

Im not sure where to go? this will be strickly for daily driving around the city and some messing around here and there is all so i think i could go with some slotted rotors and some hp street performance pads, and a goodridge stainless steel brake line.

please help! im also on a budget so...

Stainless lines yes, Ceramic pads ok, don't waste money on the rotors. Use OEM.

im definately gonna go with some stainless steel lines, as for the pads im still not sure.
i might just go with some OE brembo rotors.

what kind of pads should i use if im just gonna use blank rotors?

Why are you buying a bunch of **** when you are 1, cheap, 2, daily driving?

All you need is to properly maintain your brakes. Not throw money at expensive, wasteful and useless parts.

Ignore anyone's advice that says use cross drilled rotors.
