Default Disk brakes for 91 Civic

I have a 91 Civic with four wheel disk brakes. I would like to upgrade the brake rotors to the drilled/slotted types.
Are these type of brakes available for a 91 Civic?
Is there a benefit to upgrading to the drilled/slotted

What did the rear trailing arms come off of? What kind of driving do you do? What proportioning valve do you have? What Master Cylinder do you have?

Have you thought of upgrading the fronts in size first? Mini Rotors, ITR calipers and pads on a 90-93 Integra front knuckle seems to be popular now.

The rear disks are off a 91 Accura Integra and the master cylinder is off the same.
Thank you for your information and knowledge.

WHY, cuz it looks cool? All the slots do is eat pads and warp, then you will have a nasty shudder when brakes are applied. If this is not a dedicated race car it is a waste of money. Please take advice from someone who has done every stupid thing to a car in 40 years, yes I am old. See the sticky at the top for better braking advice, they work and not a waste of money.
Regards
Dave
