Anytime you have larger discs &/or calipers your stopping distance will improve.Depending on the year & model civic,you will have the added stopping power of rear discs,though roughly 80% of your stopping power is still up front.Bottom line,yes,an Integra(preferably Type R) is going to be a big bonus.

yes, will make a difference, but not as much as with the whole setup. like the mc, booster, etc. i saw a post on here, even with the aem big brake kit up front, initial stopping distance was even longer.
