Default Caliper options?

I'm slowly piecing together all the parts I'll need for my B-series swap into my '91 std hatch. My question is regarding the front brakes. I found some EX sedan front knuckles on ebay. I know these support the larger front rotors. But what caliper options do I have? I can get rebuilt EX calipers from an autoparts store. But with all the other interchangable parts out there, I can't help but think there is a better option for me.

I'm 90% sure you can bolt on some GSR calipers. Might wanna look into that.

Oh...and make sure you go with the DA BB/MC when you go with larger calipers... Straight bolt on, and will make the pedal feel much better.

You can use a 89 accord lxi m-cylinder if you dont want to bother with changing the booster since its a pain,it bolts up and is 15/16.If you havnt bought the knuckles yet,you can do the "johnathn mod"? I think how his name is spelled,you use accord wagon/vigor/legend calipers with machined brackets on your knuckles with 4g ex rotors.Im about to get 2 sets machined in a couple of weeks when the guy can get to them.
