Default 93-95 lude vtec calipers...what else can i use instead

i'm currently trying to do the 11" upgrade for the front of my civic with the 96itr 4x114 conversion. I'm supposed to use the 93-95 prelude vtec rotors and calipers but i can't find any at the junk yard and noone has the for sale and i don't wanna spend $80+core at vatozone, so what else can i use? are 96&up the same? Also if any of you guys have some laying around hit me up. thanks

I have 5th gen Accord V6 calipers/brackets on mine, then got the legend 2 piston calipers for a good deal. So now its the Accord brackets with legend 2 piston calipers.

Our calipers are better than the legend, nsx, etc. You can move the brake bias to the rear using the said calipers. Not enought to make a diff though.

Legends and vigors have 2 pistons...you can find them anywhere.
Legends will be easier to find than vigors

The 5th gen wouldn't work b/c they have 5x114, he has 4x114.

That's only the bolt pattern for the wheel, has nothing to do with the brakes.

The legend calipers are from a 94-95 Legend GS 4 door. I just went to autozone, ordered them and took they my old calipers. But i did have to buy the spring for the brake pads from Acura cause the rebuild calipers don't come with them.
