    i have the legend dual pison caliper and legend 11.1"x28mm rotors in front and the fastbrakes 11.4" in the rears of my 95 civic. all i can say is WOW!!! fits NICELY under a 15x6.5" Rota C8!! however, you MUST upgrade the rears as well as the fronts, for when i had only the fronts, early front lockup was a BIG problem: so bad that i almost had an accident the first time it rained, and i started braking about 100' earlier just to be safe: car slid through an intersection...

    but now, just heave out the old anchor and BAM! much beter and repeatable stops!!! i LOVE them. and for the price? UNBEATABLE. also, it is a REAL pleasure to do business with someone as knowledgeable and caring as Brian. his customer service aand desire to make sure everyone the contacst him, with or without purchase, to make them happy, is better than anything i have come across in the aftermarket industry so far...A

    Actually you need to get prelude/type-r calipers as well.

    You can't use the stock calipers, I know because I have the same exact brakes as an Integra.

    Basically the bracket adapter and corrado rotor setup was designed to work with stock civic brakes so that they didn't have to get different knuckles.

    I will finally be getting the machined brackets back from Brian, maybe after he gets back.

    But after all of this I might not use them (because of weight, and I'm hurting on money).

    Maybe you'd be interested in buying them?

    well, whatever, just a thought.

    What about putting the stock front calipers and rotors in the rear, and getting a big brake upgrade on the front brakes? Would this work?
