Default Big brake kit and 15" rims?

I have an 89 CRX si w/ a GSR swap. This is used as a track/fun car. It has stock front brakes and Konig Helium 15' rims. I would like to upgrade the front brakes. Are there any brake kits that will fit with 15" rims? Anyone have experience or a preference of manufacturer?

Thanks.

PS. I tried a search - but there are a ton brake related posts to sift through.

I'd check out fastbrakes or look specifically at the EX (90-91 4dr) kunckles or DA kuckles with redrilled Prelude rotors and ITR/Legend/Accord Wagon calipers. Both are a good way to upgrade front brakes.

There is a big 9 page thread on big brake conversions on crx-uk. Also another thread is here. Just check the size of those ctr EP3 brakes (300mm).

Im runing 93 gsr knuckles, 11 redrilled prelude rotors and modified ITR calipers, they fit fine under 15x7 gt3's 15 inch slips, and 15 inch sub zero's, Im also running the 11.5 inch fastbrakes kit out back, with zero clearance problems. Braking is awesome
