Default integra brakes or upgrade stock? 96 cx

the car is a 96 CX, im looking at two options right now.

1) Upgrade to integra spec brakes(front for now, rear eventually)

2) Upgrade stock setup with better rotors, pads, and fluid.

my plans are to roadrace in the future and just to stop well. what im trying to find out is, will the integra spec brakes be that much better over an upgraded stock setup? what are your guys' setups and your opinions? thanks

If you plan on roadracing, you'll want the additional fade resistance that a larger rotor gives. Call Fastbrakes (www.fastbrakes.com) and get their 11" kit, great quality and fit, and a good price.

i forgot to include that im running a +32 offset on my 15 inch rim. i have a friend that needed spacers for using a +32 offset on a 98 civic ex(same rim). im not sure if the fastbrakes will clear my rims and i don't wanna find out after installing them. but then again i can probably shave a little off the caliper to make it fit.

i'll find out the size of the spacers b/c i think it may affect the situation.
