VTEC to Si Brake Swap Questions

I have a 92 Si and I am planning on swapping out the front rotors for the larger vtec ones. I am aware that I do need the caliper from a 93-96 VTEC to do this what I am wondering is do I need the caliper holder also , cause i thought i saw someone say that i would on a different thread but I'm not sure. I plan to get all new rotors(Power Slot) lines(Goodridge SS) and atleast these 2 calipers(VTEC), is there anything else I need besides fluid. Also I don't think there is but can someone tell me if their is any difference in the rear brakes on a VTEC. Also I am possibly thinking about getting legend or NSX calipers depends on cash flow so essentially what i need to know is for the calipers no matter which ones i get will i also need the caliper holder , and is that all i need or are there a few other parts no one mentions that i need to aquire.

Also feel free to make any recommendations on a btter setup such as different rotors or lines you guys may feel will work better.

Thank You to everyone in advance.

I'm going more for performance than looks but i don't want them to look horrible or anything. 60-0 is important too, plus i may start autocrossing and I'm working on the H22 swap so you know I figure I should get the chassis ready to handle the engine.

what size wheels do you have? if you have a 17 or more you should really just go with the brake kits that baer makes. they are awesome. bigger caliper slotted and vented rotor and the steel braided brake lines. they will pay off more then the vtec brakes.

Yes, S and Si models can use all the brake help they can get! If you are going to get the 4th gen VTEC calipers and rotors the only other thing you need (like you said) is the caliper brackets and a set of good brake pads.

If you want Legend or NSX calipers:
