I am running Legend calipers on Cooper rotors. They clear my 15" Konigs without an issue. I know the comparison is apples-to-oranges but I hope that helps.

My experience:

They will clear the factory 15" '01-'05 Civic wheels, but that is with the machined brackets to use redrilled Prelude rotors and they were close... So I'm not sure if it would work with the Mini rotors.

I got my calipers and pads, but i'm still waiting on the rotors. Once I get them I guess i'll find out and post results. Here's to hoping the wheels I was planning on using actually fit.

I was going to suggest you disassemble and paint them actually, the reman ones tend to rust easily. Maybe not green but hey, your car

I think the lime/neon green looks good with the car's black paint. I painted muh engine block/head/intake that color too. A lot of people don't like it, I don't care tho cuz I do

What do you guys think? I bought endlinks for my 24mm front swaybar (integra type r style) and they've got three washers with it.

What would you do? P.s. here's more info
