Default Front brakes

I have searched and want to try and get an answer straight. If Im starting with DC front spindles can I just bolt on
17CL15VN calipers (97-99 RL, ITR calipers, maybe others)
23T brackets
and re drilled prelude rotors?

Is it as simple as that?

if you have a 94-00 integra front knuckles, the integra type-r caliper (stamped 17cl15vn) can be found in junkyards (from itr, accord, prelude, older legend, vigor, cl, rl, tl, cr-v, etc) are NOT a direct bolt-on due to the offset of the rotor. if you were to try to bolt it on directly, the rotor would hit the inside of the caliper bracket, and the wheel would not spin. you will need to seperate the bracket (stamped 23T or 25T) from the 17cl15vn caliper. the brackets will need to sent to the machine shop & milled 2-3mm (or 1/8"). the +97 prelude 11" rotors must be re-drilled to 4X100. with the milled 23T brackets, this will work for the itr 17cl15vn...and the legend gs 2-pot or nsx calipers as well
