if you find somewhere FTE, buy them. They worked for me. The stock must be nissin. So no big deal. They must be expensive too.

For track driving I recommend a good cooling system. For daily road driving, you do not need it. I've had melted brake pads after 2 hours of track with the B16B... stock pads, but they seemed to hold it up, the initial wear wasn't big, checked each half our. Went into the last half our with far over 50% of the pads left, but ended with nothing and a near miss of the gravel.

Well the ceramic brakes are a wooof herd are the best on track but expensive.
Some people drill more holes in their disc plate for more stability.

i think the caliper's serial number is PFKL212907. it must be the same with 98-01 integra's
