Depends on the size of the calipers, you might need a bigger main cylinder... also better brakelines are never a bad idea.

As for good brands, outlaw and wilwood are good.

^Indeed. I would suggest just going with ITR spec stuff and call it good. You'll still stop plenty hard.

That is what I'm going to get, I wanted aftermarket before i realized everything else that I would have to buy along with it. I'm just gonna get all ITR calipers. I want slotted or drilled rotors though i was thinking power slot since they will work with OEM calipers what other brands are good for OEM calipers?

I don't have any personal experience with them, but a whole lot of people on here swear by Hawk pads along with Brembo blanks. The pads are probably going to be expensive, so if you're going to go with those, you might also look into Performance Friction. They make an awesome pad.

Something else I just thought of... you'll need to find out the size of the rotors on the ITR. I don't think that the rotors for all the other Integras are the same. That is unless you pick up the ITR rotors and redrill them to fit 4x100. Just something else for you to search for.

if you want to use itr calipers you'll need modified brackets and 11'' itr rotors redrilled for 4x100. blank rotors work perfectly fine.
