Sammiched between the FRS twins but clearly the better car.
Beauty!
I have to admit a little bit of jealous...

Haha yep! I've seen it before a couple of times, but it was stock then so I never paid THAT much attention to it. I did notice it though cause I love these old Japanese cars. Didn't even know it was rHD until I took the pics today

While I'm happy that vehicles like this might start showing up now because of the 25 year restriction, it makes me sad that they might also start ending up like this...

Looking for a big brake kit upgrade or just new rotors and pads?

which would be better in the long run? the OEM brakes suck, so either would be an upgrade.
i'm a grown man. i do what i want.

In my opinion, BBK would be overkill for just a daily driver. If you're doing track days, then it might start to make sense.
Step wise improvements: better pads, better brake lines, new fluid, new rotors (slotted/drilled is a preference thing). You could do one at a time and see how it changes and see how you prefer it. Or just jump in whole-hog and do it all at once.
As for *what* parts to run, that's a personal preference as well. Everyone has opinions and well, you know what that's like. I myself have used EBC pads and Aeroquip lines in my projects. Rotors are whatever.
Stick to name brands, figure out what you can afford, and get what makes sense.

price is not that big of a concern since i'm using bonus money for this. so BBK may be overkill for me then haha

Start with pads and SS brake lines. Rotors IMO can be generic unless you're going for some Brembo-patented type of next-level shit. But that would be for track use anyhow. For all intents and purposes, rotors can be generic. I plan on running NAPA/Autozone rotors if I ever need to replace.
If this doesn't do it for you, get a BBK. I'm sure the SS lines themselves will give you plenty better pedal feel.

Whole braking system? Gee I dunno.
A BBK would replace most of the system: new calipers, new rotors, new pads, likely new brake lines (stainless steel). However, BBKs usually don't come with high performance brake fluid, and definitely wouldn't come with a replacement brake master cylinder for the TSX.
To do all of that... and assuming the BBK is a 4pot, this should be around 1k-1.5k USD I suppose. 6pot caliper, you're looking at way more. And this is just for the fronts.
For a daily driver TSX, if you want better stopping power and a firmer pedal feel, up the pads and get a stainless steel brake line first. I can't see any street-driven advantages of buying expensive rotors, and a larger caliper is likely too much.
With that being said..... I plan on doing the RL BBK conversion

Burning Brakes
Coming down from 80 more than once wears the brakes out. If you do lots of high speed stops, I believe a BBK is not a bad idea.

I did that one day and multiple times, just because some Stang wanted to race me and my friend. I felt the brakes starting to fade after the 2nd or 3rd time time trying to come to a stop. Wasn't fun.

RE: Rotors.
This is timely... And a pretty good price.

But Focus RS though...
Maybe that'll do well enough for Honda to reconsider in a few years.
