Default What brake pads/rotors should I get?

I have a 94 dx hatch and I want to replace my pads/rotors and I was wondering which ones should I look into? I was thinking Hawk HPS pads with Brembo blank rotors. Any suggestions? Thank you.

HPS is a great pad, people also seem to have a high opinion of Akebono.

I had no issues with my duralast Ceramics on my s2000 caliper setup. Will be replacing them under lifetime warranty on Saturday before Autocross on Sunday.

4 weeks ago i have even bought new brake pad and rotors for my DD Civic EG6.

In the past i have tried out a lot of pads and rotors and until now this is the best for fast road driving.

- Pads: Ferodo DS2500 (working good equal if it´s cold ort hot)
- Discs: Brembo Max

If you must change this parts you can even replace the old rubber brakelines with stainless steel brakelines (goodrigde or hel performance for example). You will feel under your brake pedal a better pressure point.
