what is your car ? si/vti , gli or breeze etc?
262mm front and standard rear discs are FINE for a b18 eg.
upgrade the front knuckles to those off a EK4 , EM1 , EK1 or DC integra. And use the same disc and caliper that came off it. If you have drum rears , get the trailing arm + caliper+ disc setup off a car that came with 4 wheel discs (Si , vti , gli and all other DC's or EK4/EM1 etc)

As Above^^
Or if you want to go one step further get blank Integra Type r 282mm front discs drilled to 4 stud for you car and use the Integra type R/ Honda CRV caliper aswell (They are the same caliper with one having a little offset difference and most likely a price difference;)), along with a Type R Brake booster and Good pads..

get the bb4 prelude 282mm ones coz it has the correct hub size for eg/ek 4stud

Good start that it's a VTI, you already have rear disc brakes.
Do what bennjamin suggested. For a budget upgrade, replace the fronts with the 262mm. Get good fluids + pads; will be invaluable on the road + during spirited driving.
I went c2 motor and upgraded to dc2 vtir brakes all round. You might want to think about upgrading the BMC + booster also?!..

So if you choose BB4 Prelude Calipers, you don't need DC2 Knuckles and you don't need to machine 3mm?
