Default Thanks for help / Brake Upgrade Kit Question

First of all, I apologize in advance, I tend to make long posts

You guys are the best, I've seen so many ridiculous forums on the Internet, this one is the best. You've already eliminated one headache of mine. I had a hesitation problem and I was trying fuel system solutions and it wasn't getting fixed, so I posted here and within a few hours, some of you guys were already suggesting fixes that were electrical based. I cleaned some strange gunk from the distributoar, and I got new spark plug wires and I'm hauling booty again.

My Car: (I should probably make this my signature.)
I've got a LS/Vtec ITR head with i/h/e, 16"wheels/tires, and 1.5"lowered, shocks, front upper, rear lower, rear upper support bars, all on a 94 dx coupe...I got all this when I was obsessed and made very little money.

Now things have changed and I've got cash, I was either going to sell this car and supposedly move up or finish this car. No matter what new car I test drive, VTEC is VTEC. For some reason my car is more fun to me than a 04 wrx STI . Don't get me wrong that thing was nice, but the acceleration was so smooth that I didn't even feel like I was going fast...and what's with a 7000 rpm redline...8000+ is the way to go. So being that a 04 wrx STI isn't even enticing enough to lure me away from my Honda, I'm going to stick with this and enjoy my investment by sinking more $$$ into it. That's where you guys come in. (hopefully) I stopped paying attention to this all this mod stuff a few years ago and was busy with many other things in my life. But now it is time to get back to it in full throttle.

The first thing that I need is better brakes, I've got all that power, yet I'm stopping with dx brake system that was manufactured sometime in late 1993 more than likely. I can't remember many brake kits being around back when I was in the swing of things, years ago. But by now, there must be a ton; anybody got any good recommendations, both cheap and/or expensive ones.

I suggest you get integra front and rear upgrade. It can give you pretty decent stopping power with the right pads. very cheap to upgrade to that too. I can get you that setup for a very good price. I still have the front setup currently for 130+shipping
PM if interested.
or just save up and go 5 lug or fastbrakes kit
