brembo blanks, valvoline synthetic brake fluid, hawk hp's.

any rotor actually will do. most brake fluids will be fine. concentrate on the getting the right pad.

Stainless lines is that really necessary for braking power? Just curious. Also no one seems to reccomend a nice set of X Drilled? And where would i get Hawk HP pads?

I agree with Snoopy. Why? Because that is exactly what I have done to mine. We also did the FORD brake fluid swap as it has a higher boiling point for track days. Otherwise, Honda brake fluid is just fine. I might add that we bought our Brembo-blank rotors and AEM/Nissin pads from Summit and have had no problems with the setup at all. The tracks I run on include Pocono and Watkins Glen where brakes are tested a lot.
Our brake lines are stainless from Goodridge on the Prelude and Russell on the CRX-you will not regret the swap. Do they help with pedal feel - yes. Overall braking performance is also improved since they do not swell.
You Q about x-drilled. In a few words <G>-don't bother. They will not improve anything and have been known to crack across the holes. I do not even recommend slotted ones as they cannot be surfaced. Blank rotors are just fine for almost any situation.
Happy holidays
