Default Mini cooper rotors on 97 civic lx?

Hello, I have done alittle bit of research on rotor setups and haven't had much luck in finding affordable 290-295 mm rotors that are readily available and at a good price. I came across a post where people were talking about 4x100 bolt pattern mini cooper rotors on Honda's for affordability and practicality. I Know they will not fit the dx model because of the knuckle but was trying to figure out if they will work on a 97 lx, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I think they went into details about other things regarding that rotor with specific calipers.

LX and DX have the same knuckle. expect any brake upgrade to start with and EX knuckle swap.

You can also purchase adapters from fastbrakes if you don't want to change your spindles

I am wondering what specific year and model mini rotors fit for the front? I am thinking it's the convertible around 2007 year but not certain.
