For a 500whp Honda, stock is more than enough. You won't have traction worth **** on the street, and at the track you've got quite a good amount of time to slow down. Brembo blanks and HAWK pads would be the most I'd put on it, but that's after you warp your stock brakes brake-boosting on a 600whp Nitrous Camaro... get what I'm saying?
Why would you warp your brakes brake boosting?
And what if he wants to actually take the car to a track, not just the drag strip?

even if he wants to track it, i'd still recommend just brembo blanks or slotteds with hawk hps pads. unless he very serious about racing on a circuit or extremely serious about autoxing, theres no need to spend thousands on some big brake kit.

If your looking fora complete upgrade do an NSX conversion for about $600. Pretty much a big brake kit for less than half the price.
