I think you shouldn't have brakes. Just drive up to 100mph(If Honduhs can get that fast), and drive your POS into a brick wall.
perhaps the only post you should help out on is this one

well first of all, are you planning on going stock or performance with this car? are you autoxing this car? or just driving it on the streets only? some things to consider... if you are autoxing then be careful of what performance brake parts you put on because somethings(bigger calipers for example) will put you in a more difficult class, but there are still some components(pads, rotors) you are able to upgrade and still run in stock or sts with... of course i dont know what your use for the car is tho...

if you are looking for basic oem/stock type parts, go to napa and ask them to price everything for you... brake lines, pads, rotors,... do you need calipers too? if you need all of that, that car must be in really tough shape. calipers will be very costly. i would check and see for certain what parts are necessary. calipers can be reused sometimes if you can buy new sliding pins for them... my advice is check a parts store first, then price honda/acura parts also and compare to see what is different. dont go cheap on the pads and rotors when you price them at the parts store tho....
