I just read a really good write up on this subject. I believe it's the one sykvsyx linked.
calipers, rotors, pads

Big Brake Kits(which does include performance pads) only benefit you if you plan on racing because they reduce brake fade. ie: repeated hard braking.
On your budget, get these:
1. 95 Acura Legend GS 2 piston Calipers. ** 17CL15VN will be stamped on the caliper
use the 23T bracket from your Accord caliper.
2. Centric premium rotors (Centric part # 120.40036) for the Accord(11.1 inch diam/23mm thick), not the Legend(11.1mm/28mm thick)
3. Any ceramic pad of your choice.
*The initial "bite" may not be there compared with semi-metallic or performance pads, but, for simple street use...it is no big deal.
** I do recommend you go ahead and replace the hydraulic hoses for all 4 corners. Our cars are getting old and we need to start replacing the rubber items like hoses and bushings
