Default Got calipers and carriers, what rotors and pads do I need?

I came up on a set of Acura Legend 2 pot calipers and the modified carriers to bolt them onto my 97 Integra. What rotors do I need to complete this set up? I have had good luck with Axis Deluxe pads, do I just oder the ones to match the caliper? Thanks.

no they're not all the same; different prelude trims have different rotor sizes

ROTORS

A. Prelude VTEC 11" front rotors, need to be re-drilled to 4X100.

* the 4th gen prelude is in a 4X114 pattern vs the 5th gen prelude, which is 5x114.

i prefer the 4th gen prelude VTEC, the 11" front rotors can be re-drilled cleanly, without overlapping

B. Fastbrakes SpecR Integra/Civic EX/Civic Si 11" Plain rotors for modified ITR 17CL15VN calipers

Product Code: FB DA/DC SPECR 11 INCH ROTORS $47.50 ea

* the fastbrakes 11" front rotor in 4X100 saves you the trouble of re-drilling
