Do you want BEST brakes, or just real good?

Best: Brembo 4 piston setup (over $2000 and will require at least 17" wheels)
Very very good: Wilwood or Fastbrakes kit
Also very very good: Spoon/Nissin 4 piston caliper kit
Good: Mugen active gate brake system

Also, the stock system from the Integra Type R and the Civic Type R is also good.

Admittedly, however, the stock system from Honda is no slouch either.

I would say just convert to 5-lug.

The ITR brakes will be just fine for your purpose.
