What are you trying to do? Run larger calipers, or just upgrade the rotors?

For the most part, you can use any caliper that would swap onto a 96-00 EX Civic in the front. I ran machined Acura Legend calipers for years, using re-drilled TSX rotors. But, there are cheaper alternatives.

A good pad, and a fresh set of good rotors, with some stainless flex lines and nicer fluid will go a very long way in brake feel/performance, though.
