Default Better brake kit?

Could I use pads and rotors from a 96-00 civic ex, for my 91 crx? I read somehting last night but now I can't find it, it said something about 90-97 accord calipers? Does anyone know how I could get these to work?

You have to machine the calipers to fit.

I would just use some CRX Si rotors/calipers if it's not a Si model. If it's a Si model then use some 92-93 Integra GSR's.

Well I got brand new pads and rotors for a 96-00 ex (had one before the crx).
So the pads and rotors will work with (i've been searching this alot) 90-97 Accord Wagon Calipers,
or ITR/NSX calipers, the itr/nsx calipers are dual piston and you need to get a master cylinder from a 98-01 integra ls. but the Accord wagon calipers will work with the factory Master Cylinder. Sound right everyone??? I've read they will work if you mill the inside of the caliper 3mm, or put a 3mm spacer between the caliper and hub.

Is this right guys?? Any help is appreciated!

Oh, and will these work with my 14" wheels, or should I use this as an excuse to get 15's!
