Well i have the full kit (front) and i just have the rotors in the rear, and im very happy w/ the braking response. A def. mod you should think about. Its good to go fast, but more important to be able to slow down =)

Exactly, I have had various big brake kits on past project cars but one thing I have learned is that more expensive does not always equal better. I was trying to stay OEM if at all possible but am still open to more suggestions.

While that would be a plus I need to stay 4x100 since I just got these purty new wheels. I saw a member of this forum with the SN Boost Lee has NSX calipers on his Prelude and I was wondering if anyone had done them on their integra? Last question...does anyone have experience first/second hand with AEM's large rotor upgrades?

I would skip AEMs upgrade. Pricey and inneffective for how much you spend. You would be better off with something that upgrades your rotors and calipers, like Fastbrakes.
How much of a brake increase do you need? A lot of people would be surprised at the difference some $22 Autozone rotors, $60 Axxis pads, $100 Goodridge lines and some $3.99 fluid will make.
