Hello everyone,
I attempted to do a mild big brake updgrade on my 1999 EX Civic on Friday and ran into some issues. I ordered some AC Delco 2007 Mini Cooper Base Rotors, some alignment shims from 1320, a pair of 1999 Integra GSR Brake Caliper assemblies and 2007 Acura TSX brake pads. When I went to do the install I was not able to fit the brake caliper carrier over the new rotor. I measured the original rotor at about 262mm and measured the new rotor at about 283mm so I'm pretty sure I have the EX knuckles as you would expect (the car was stolen in it's past so I always wondered if it had original parts). I've read that you need first gen CR-V brake calipers (although I thought they were the same) and vaguely remembering coming across a video on Youtube where someone ran into the same issue although I can't find the video for the life of me. Anybody have any useful feedback, I've been scouring the internet for answers.

Thanks

I briefly read about this swap while researching my own big brake kit, but I am no expert. A google search finds a reddit post from years ago saying to use '06 Mini rotors. RockAuto says they're 276 mm diameter.
