Default 1999 EM1 - Legend GS calipers / Mini Rotors / Hawk TSX pads / Which caliper bracket?

So I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of NOS Legend GS calipers, they are complete with brackets and hardware.

I am looking to upgrade the front brakes of my EM1 with these calipers using the mini cooper 280mm rotors. I think I have pretty much everything that I need, however I think I have read too many threads, and responses. My brain is crawling with too much and I need a little help.

With the Legend GS twin pot calipers, Mini Cooper 280mm rotors, and the TSX Hawk pads, which caliper bracket do I need?

I have read 28T wont work without spacers, or that the 25T isnt right - others say it is. The 23T brackets have also been said to work... Anyone have a definitive answer?

Thank you

I dont know the answer but would like to know the answer also. Had gs calipers sitting for years.
Out of curiosity, what master will you be using?

I have an ITR set aside if I need it. However, the EM1 already has the 15/16 brake master... so I will see how that goes first. Already have Edelbrock stainless steel brake lines installed... Dont think there is much else I need for the install.
