Default Spoon Caliper Twin Block Setup

I need help guys on my Spoon Caliper setup. Here's what I have

1. Spoon Caliper Twin Block
2. GSR DC2 Front and Rear Disc Brakes
3. 15" SW388 4x100
4. car is a 96 honda civic CX hatch

My question is, will the caliper fit directly to the dc2 front brakes? If not, what do I need to buy in order to fit it WITHOUT modifying something especially the calipers. I don't wanna start shaving a bnew 1500++ caliper and it should clear a 15" sw388 rims. I was told that I need to buy the $650 11" FastBrake rotor but I was wondering if there are other rotors I could buy as an alternative to it without modifying the caliper. I just wanna do some research first before I buy the rotors. I would appreciate inputs of those who already did the same setup.

***Please don't reply on this thread saying that I shouldn't have gotten the Spoon Calipers and they are overrated and all that stuff. That's what I want and no one can change my mind. Period. Please stay on topic as always.

Here, I did the research for you on Google...

You need 92-96 Prelude VTEC 282mm rotors redrilled to 4x100 and 3mm spacers between hub and rotor.



You'll need spacer to run the SW388 according to this thread...

Go to autozone and order 89-91 VW Corrado front rotors. They are 11" 4 x 100 bolt pattern. Not sure about needing the spacers then though.

I ran accross a thread in the DC2 Brake section less than a week ago where someone is using the stock rotor from the base Mini Cooper...needs absolutely NO modification apparently. They're also lighter and cheaper then the re-drilled prelude rotor.

I currently use the corrado rotor as noted above, there was no need for spacers..but the fit wasn't exact so I'm running w/the Mini cooper solution next time around.


EDIT:
Good 11" Rotor Info...1/2 way down page 3:
