+++ My new front brakes (PICS) +++
Got the calipers from the Prelude (H22A), and the disc from the Integra DC2 (B18C). Increasing the size of the disc from 260 mm (standard) to 280 mm. Installation took a day but the result does worth the time 
Enjoy the pics

Rep Power: 399 Just for everyone's reference, he used the 11" Type R rotors, NOT the standard DC2 rotors. This is a relatively common upgrade on the older models, so the fact that it translates is not a surprise to me at all. The rotors CAN safely be redrilled because you do not impede the old pattern at all and the rotors should fit on without issue. The calipers I cannot speak for. They will need to be modified or moved in some way, Honda changed the location of the bracket, a shim is definitely needed to move the caliper out a little (about .050") and some sort of adapter is probably needed to move them out unless the ITR calipers match the bolt holes and the caliper takes up the extra radius from center.
