Any '92-'00 Civic or '94-'01 Integra front disks should work.

As for if JUST bigger rotors will help? No, if the caliper isn't pressing a larger pad, it won't help any.

Is there any reason that you're using rotors from another car? Generally, I have always used the rule that change the discs, change the pads, and use NEW parts. Generic pads and rotors are not very expensive either.

I know I'm a total noob here but, wouldn't a bigger brake help simply for leverage? See where I'm coming from? Like, your calipers don't have to work as hard to do the same job? It's not all about pad/rotor contact area. I'm totally not attacking you here, I've read some of your posts, I believe you know what you're talking about, ya know, so correct me if I'm wrong...
