Default Caliper Upgrade for the AEM BBK?

I have the old AEM big brake upgrade (just the rotors) on my '97 Civic DX. I had to swap in EX front knuckles to fit them. I wish I had gotten the calipers when I had the chance, but now AEM no longer makes this kit. The upgraded front calipers were Porsche Boxster rear calipers (Brembo). I believe they were also used on Porsch 996 or 986 something like that. Anyways, anyone know of any mounting brackets I can get to fit those calipers on my car?

Another thing I was possibly mounting RL calipers. Anyone know if there is mounting brackets out there for those and if the RL calipers will fit with the AEM rotors? I think the front rotors are 12.6". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, I have the full kit that included the brackets to relocate the stock calipers. I was looking for the brackets that came with the caliper upgrade for the AEM front kit so that I could put the Brembo calipers on my knuckles. Still haven't gotten any answers.

^^^ i am in the same boat. I have been looking into upgrading my calipers. I looked into getting some nsx calipers but they are so difficult to find. Thus been looking into some wilwood calipers. I just need to get the specs on the stock calipers but my car is at the shop getting sprayed.
