2 options
1: Buy a "kit" from those such as FastBrakes... http://www.fastbrakes.com/
2: Source your own components.
Brian Hasty owner of FastBrakes is a super nice guy. He is also author of this low cost brake upgrade using OEM parts. This means you can gets parts anywhere... and IF you are ever involved in a wreck...and it is brought up you have been messing with the brakes... all stuff is OEM.
See this post for details.

Hmmm…
Most people say to use the stock booster...
What MC /booster combo do you recommend? Especially if you have upgraded the brakes via bigger calipers. (Type R calipers) Same caliper as used on 91-94 Accord Wagon (front)

exactly if you can lock up your brakes easily bigger ones aren't going to help. Your weak link will be tires. Biggest brakes in the world won't help if tires don't have enough traction and if you can lock up your wheels easily you have far more braking capacity than traction and until you get more traction you aren't going to stop any faster.

A good rotor/pad/brakeline combination works great just ask the man Driven or better yet https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=643430

Yeah, thats a vary good point. But... I think that big brake kits would help a lot with fade. cause in my situation, especially after getting on the brakes a handful of times at higher speeds, my brakes fade bad. Or, if your someone who does any kind of road course racing, or are just a really aggressive driver, in my opinion, bigger brakes are the way to go.

I agree it will help with fade, but original comment was to stop faster, Big brakes won't help you stop faster. THey do have more mass to disipate heat and resist fade. But crappy tires are 99% of the problem in stopping faster. Gert that resolved and then bigger brakes will help on fade. Point of note I drive agressively and do so in the mountains. My stock DX brakes have yet to experience any fade, and they have factory pads of factory rotors and drums. Unless you do Auto-X or roadrace, or drive like a total idiot on the street you aren't going to have major problems with fade. But you will have tractions issues guaranteed.
