Default Fastbrakes adapter question

Hello everyone,
I just picked up some super cheap 10.3" ex rotors, without looking up if they fit on my car easily, I put them on to find out they are just a little too big for my 1992 Dx hatch's front calipers. For them to fit, I read that I have to get ex knuckles and hub, ex or integra calipers. So, my question was if I could use the 11" inch adapter from fast brakes (http://www.fastbrakes.com/product_p/...-rotor-kit.htm) and just put the integra caliper (with no modification) on the adapter instead of switching out the knuckles and hubs.
Thanks

Lets think about this logically for a minute. You went to a 10.3" rotor. If you use an 11" rotor adapter, you'll have .7" of pad not making contact. Now, I don't know brake pad dimensions off the top of my head, but that sounds like it would be one half to one third of the pad hanging off the side of the rotor, not doing a damn thing. I seriously doubt it would work.
