yeah, you upgrade to bigger calipers and rotors

rather than just asking what is better than what you have, whats your needs. are you going to be tracking the car? or maybe you just want more response from your brakes.

different strokes for different folks.

but just saying, "Anyone knows good brakes upgrade for Civic EM1" is like saying.

"Anyone knows which good motor upgrade good for my B16A, cuz I want good motorz"

Agreed with yourfather...you need to be a bit more specific mate....

i.e. you could either upgrade to slotted rotors and some street/track pads or upgrade your rotors to a bigger size as well....

or if your just having problems with your brake pads...change to a better brake pad

well....what i meant was does anyone know good brand for brakes?? I'm modifying the engine and gonna put turbo in. Not going to use it for track, just for daily use. Stock calipers ana slotted disc with EBC pads should be enough?

well if your using EBC pads...there are still different specs...e.g. green pads, red pads....

I'm using ferodo ds2500s and they are awesome...they are a street/track pad....very good bite...but can be pretty dusty.

Just get good pads and fluid. If you still find that to not be enough, do the itr swap as blitz recomended.
