what about the rear brakes? Did you balance them in any way? Did you have the chance to find about the diameter of the brake piston? I suggest you try to see how the car responds to corner braking. The rear might respond oversteerishly which can be dangerous if you aren't used to it.
Sticky tyres are a must now, and coilovers in order to tune the suspension's behaviour. Give us feedback!

Re: Brake Swap
koni/eibach and strut bars, is the suspension upgrade so far.
the rare brakes have ferodo pads, only
i'm used to oversteer. i had a crx before
we mesured the diameter of the disk and it is 286mm
i don't know the caliper's piston, but it's the same of the integra's

Re: Brake Swap
Front Integra pistons is 57mm if I am correctly informed. Normal 262mm Civic Calipers are 54.
I changed my EJ1 front calipers in this way to get less oversteer during braking. High speed braking was tricky... needed each lap to go from 200 to 100 on a straight piece. Difficult enough. And it has a crest starting to the right were I topped 180 and needed to lower to 140... that one was tricky with the 54mm calipers... still is though.
