So I gotta 02 coupe with a jdm f23a in it and I really wanna keep it but its a pos I'm already spending more on the car than I got it for but at this point I'm kinda like fk it I'm even looking at lil civics to get while I work on my accord/have it in the shop. but I was asking for help looking for good cost effective brake upgrades since I'm basically riding on metal right now and I'm doing brakes id like to do a lil upgrade since I plan on stage 2 the car but I'm worried about if it'll fit or ill have to do modification so I was wanting to ask you guys if y'all have done brake upgrades what were some cost effective hassle free options.

Replace your brake lines with steel braided lines, brakes will be much better along with rotors and pads..

I upgraded my brake pads with extreme PowerStops (rear: Z26-537 - Z26; front: Z26-503 - Z26) recently, as well as Brembo rotors (rear: 08.5803.81; fronts: 09.7932.11) This is for 3.0L engine, FYI. Super happy about it! Nice and smooth rapid breaking.
Highly recommending you to invest in a good brake system (rotors + pads), as this is yours and others safety, first of all
