I finished my brake setup last week and I am really pleased with the results.
It is a 11.1" 96+ prelude Vtec rotor, redrilled to 4X100. ITR calipers that have shaved mounting brackets. Basically ITR sized front brakes on a 4x100 bolt pattern. I also installed a 1" master cylinder, APR extended studs, new wheel bearings, ball joints, and tie rod ends (all from Honda). Now all I need is an alignment, which will be done early next week.
Here is the whole car.
Edit: I also upgraded the lines to Russell's stainless lines, used EX front knuckles, and added a 24mm front sway bar.
sounds like alot of work for some stopping power. YOu could have just gotten brembo blanks, Green Stuff pads, and SS lines and gotten the same if not better performance.

Well I do have all of that, minus the green stuff pads, I was in a time crunch and once I get some sticky tires I am going to run Hawk pads. And I forgot to mention that I also installed Russell's steel braided brake lines all the way around.

Neither realistic or negative, just kind of ignorant. As you would never get the same kind of stopping power that I now have with doing the upgrades you stated while running the stock MC.

Basically the same thoughts I had....
Sounds like the Type arrrrrrrr effect was wanted though.
Finds it funny you (all) check my profile multiple times a day. Get a life.

True the MC can stand for an upgrade in a stock honda. Any plans to change out the booster?

I already swapped out the stocker for a 1" MC and booster. You can't run a 1" on a stock booster, I compared them once I pulled the stocker off and the ITR/GSR booster is noticeably bigger. Boy was it ever a pain getting that thing out, and even a bigger pain getting the new one back in. There is not a lot of room to work with the intake manifold, brake lines, and strut tower in the way.
