Default S2000 Brakes on 96-00 civic knuckles

So I'm attempting this upgrade and have all necessary hardware but missing a bit of info.

Going based off of this DIY: https://honda-tech.com/acura-integra...grade-2169149/

Seems to be missing how much to mill off of the caliper bracket. BrakeExpert states runout to .001" but nothing about total to be milled from the bracket when mating to EX knuckles. Another guy on HT had the same question and he found .050" to remove but he's using GSR knuckles and it might be different from the EX knuckles.

So any know how much to mill for this upgrade for use with EX knuckles?

Thanks. But the chart doesn't state what customizations and/or mods needs to be done on the s2k brackets.

Someone's got to have done this already with answers!

Yeah I PM'd him a few days ago but no response. I'm actually running his ITR/Prelude setup, I bought it when he first started doing this stuff. I'm making more power now such is why I'm interested in this upgrade.

He get around, he created the compatible spreadsheet a long time ago, last yr I pm'd him about a deal he had going on and he responded. Why rush the guy, he's around and will respond when he gets the time to log back into H-T.

Did it to my EM1 and followed that guide, and I didn't have to modify the brackets..

I would suggest doing a test fit, and you would get an eyeball of how much needs to be grinded off, take pictures of how much you need gone and take it to a machine shop, point to the image and say "I want that much off of these brackets."
