How big are you wheels? You could get a Wilwood kit cheaper than ITR 5 lug and it would stop better too.

Also look at

they are the same size as the EX front rotors, but they are just over an inch bigger in diameter than the other lower model civs.

If you already have an EX, then you have the biggest rotors that you can get unless you go with an ITR setup. If that is the case, then you should look into getting some good brake fluid, and a good set of brake pads.

the quality of the pad has nothing to do with what car it is for. Do a little research on aftermarket pads. A lot of people are happy with aem pads and axxis ultimate pads for street purposes.

As for fluid, I'm sure that everyone will agree. Either ATE Superblue Racing or ATE Type 200. They are the exact same thing, except one is blue, while the other is gold colored. You can order it online from http://www.ogracing.com .
