Default type r parts sourcing and misapplication?

I wanna use the caliper brackets, where can I buy them online?

do I need other stuff besides the calipers and brackets? Bigger master cylinder/booster? Other spindle stuff?

ill be using them on Integra LS spindles.

how bout DAT spoiler? Does it make alot of downforce or is it just big and dumb?

I sorta wanna use some sorta OEM replica wing, maybe an aftermarket creation if it looks clean and works good.

Back in 05, I upgraded the 4 brakes, on my daughter's 2000 LS.

It's a daily driver.

My parts list was:
98-02 Accord (v6) front brackets and calipers.
Fastenal SAE 8 washers (10 ea) 2.5mm thick
Fastbrakes 11" rotors (4 x 100)
ITR Axis ULT pads
Russell Stainless Steel braid brake hoses, for an ITR.

04 RSX non-Type S rear brackets
01 Prelude Calipers
03 Civic SI rotors (4 x 100)
ITR Axis ULT pads
Russell SS brake hoses, for an ITR.

Later, in 08 I bought a pair of front brackets, from Fastenall that were cut 2.5 mm and got rid of the washers.

I had to bleed the rear calipers off of the car's rotors, using some plywood (as a rotor substitute). The Prelude's calipers have its bleed valves at the 6 o'clock position and I pointed them to noon (while off the car), to bleed.

I bought an 06 Civic EX (the whole car) and the rear brackets can be used instead of the 04 RSX non-Type S brackets, on her car. I tested them, during a brake change.

OP, you need to post in the forum that is specific to your car and ask about upgrade questions there. This forum is specifically for the Type R...not what parts might or might not fit on your car.

yeah I guess asking what's different between a type r and my car is silly.

how bout that wing spoiler tho? The only car I like a hueg wing on is a Toyota supra, but if it works well i would use it.
