Re: need opinions on brakes
When I had my civic, I had an 11" Brake kit on it from Fastbrakes using an 11" brembo blank, integra caliper and fastbrakes caliper adapter. I used a set of EBC greens once and they gave off less dust than OEM but more dust than the Hawk pads I bought later down the road.
That help?

Re: need opinions on brakes
+1 thats what they are intended to do, BUT you have to get quality slotted rotors.
There is a reason why Tirerack says to ABSOLUTELY to not use OEM replacements with slotted or drilled or dimpled rotors on track....

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors offered as OEM replacements should not be considered appropriate for high-speed track use.
While grooved, drilled and slotted rotors offer an enhanced appearance and add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures that are produced on the racetrack. If they are used on the track, it is very important that the rotors be carefully inspected and should not be driven on if even minor signs of deterioration are seen. Note, too, that if these products are used on the track they are not warrantable.
