Default Crx ef8 brake upgrade advice

hi all, i want to upgrade brakes because the car needs new discs/pads and i want more stopping power and better pedal feeling. First thing i think is stainless brake lines, new disc (i'll buy pagID coated) and rear standards pads, but for the front, my #1 option is the Wilwood DPHA bolt-on calipers, and the #2 is caliper rebuild with fedoro ds2500 pads. So you guys recommend me other upgrade? (Ef8 has integra da spindles with 262 fronts and 239 rears)

The wilwoods are expensive and also, each time you need new rotors and pads. Will be very expensive.
Also, and this is a big ALSO. A lot of 15 inch wheels don't fit

I would recommend the fastbrakes.com kit they sell a kit that comes with larger integra/civic caliper and rotor. That bolts on.
So it would be just oem rotors
You have stainless lines so that's good as they should fit the fastbrakes kit. The wilwood requires new lines.
I recommend a good ceramic pad if you're just street driving (maybe oem honda) and ebc slotted rotors.
Look into making a mc brace

how about just maintaining your car.

Stock had plenty of braking power.

I made a short run of braces a long time ago.
I might have the CAD floating around somewhere... I know I stumbled across the drawing several months ago.
