wwwwwrrrrrrooonnnnnggggg. Don't spit what you don't know.
Almost ALL calipers bolt up to all knuckles...but rotor to caliper clearances can make the difference. Forever, me and some buddies rolled with Prelude VTEC/ITR front calipers with 4x114.3 Prelude VTEC rotors redrilled to 4x100. All you need to do is machine down about 3-4mm of the caliper mounting bracket so the rotor fits centered in the caliper, and that's it!!
You can also run 4 lug EP Si rear rotors with mounting brackets and a stock GSR/Si caliper to give you the same size as ITR...all for cheap

Then how is it that people just don't put Integra calipers on DX knuckles? Too much work?

Re: Brake caliper setup (BlueIntegraBoy)
because the distance of the caliper mounting poiint to the center of the hub is closer on the DX caliper....if this makes sense. The rotor will not fit. The caliper WILL bolt up....but it won't be far enough from the center of the hub to allow space for the rotor
