Need better brakes for my HF

I have an 89 HF with a B20VTEC in it, and sure it goes really fast but the problem is slowing down and stopping. I have been tryin to find a brake upgrade kit but cannot find one anywhere. I also did a search here for some suggestions but again nothing. I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas on how I can upgrade my brakes so that I can stop when Im done going really fast. Thnx in advance.

Get the front brakes complete with knuckes from a 91 Civic Ex 4dr.
It's a straight bolt on, and it uses larger rotors, and calipers.

you might want to upgrade your rear drums to 11" disc also.

Re: Need better brakes for my HF (incubus)

I'll testify to the Fastbrakes OEM 10.2" caliper on the 11" rotor. Upgrade the rear to Integra, or 90-91 Si Disks. Also you need a bigger master cyl. 90-91 EX is a bolt in. With this setup, you're eyeballs will smack the windshield with R compound rubber on it.
