Build My Brake System
I have searched and read various threads. I'm asking for specifics on my application as weeding through truth and bs is sometimes a challenge with all the info out there. AND, I would like your opinion on my Specific application.
2000 Civic EX Coupe (2500lbs give or take) 5spd, stock suspension as of yet, 15" Rota Sub Zero's with Avon techM500 tires. I currently running Brembo Slots with GreenStuff pads, stock rear drum. All the brakes will need replaced soon. **This is my Wife's daily driver, so have to keep things resonable, however, I have had these things fade on me during aggresive driving, so looking to upgrade.** I do drive this car and when we get a new car this will be my daily driver again (<<aggressive driving), it may very well see some track time as well.
I do plan on upgrading rear with factory rear disc set up (EK Si), good rotors and pads (pad suggesting welcomed).
What would you guys do with the front? Keep stock rotor size but upgrade to GSR calipers/master cyl? What pads do you suggest? I picked this form because most on here seem to know more than the others, looking for real experience, not guessing. Thanks for your time guys/gals.
What fluid do you suggest also?

My setup for my DC2 Integra is listed in that thread as well. Motul RBF 600 fluid seemed the best bang for the buck in terms of dry and wet boiling points.
