Default Big brakes other than fastbrakes that will fit under 15's. Or custom brake setup?

I know most will say fastbrakes. but I want to know if anyone knows of another kit that will fit under 15's. Or a collection of parts used to make a custom kit like fastbrakes.
I don't understand why fastbrakes are like $1300 and wilwoods are $700 when fastbrakes uses wilwood parts only smaller rotor. Can I purchase the wilwood kit w/ 11 in rotors instead of 12.5 (or whatever it is). Can the parts be purchased separately and if so where and what parts are needed?

Which car is this for? If it's your Civic; 90-91 EX spindles, 11" '90 Corrado rotors, and Accord wagon front calipers w/ minor shaving fit together and under a set of 15's. For the Integras, you don't need to swap spindles.

This is for the 91 integra. so you are saying I can use 90 Corrado rotors and accord wagon calipers? will accord calipers bolt on to the integra? also will there be any other modification other than shaving a little off the calipers?

OK I did some research on the calipers.

but I can find nothing on the rotors tell me more if you don't mind. Do they have to be redrilled or do the bolt up. Stock rotors should be cheaper than fastbrakes 11" rotors.
but this caliper solution is abig help

The '90 Corrado has a 100X4 bolt pattern (I was told once it's 104X4, but so close it doesn't matter) and slips right on in place of the Honda rotor, no drilling needed. The offsets between different rotor and Accord wagon (type-R) caliper can be fixed with minor grinding/machining.

VW uses a 4X100 not 104 so there is no difference. The caliper is the same as the later Preludes use, so consider ordering performance pads intended for it as opposed to looking for pads for an Accord wagon. The other good thing is the pad thickness is way more than the Integra ones so they will last longer on track.
