Rear disc research

This is Mark from Scarebird. We worked with Apexanimal a while ago for the 2007-2008 models. It works well but the parking cables are a bugger. I picked up a 2013 rear axle for test fitment yesterday. After an afternoon we realized this will be a task.

We currently have 2 solutions:

1. Modifying a Nissan rotor to work with a modded earlier bracket. It uses the same Earlier Acura cables. It will use the same 1994-01 Integra caliper.

2. Use the Integra rotor with a Ford front caliper, this would be a race setup (no parking brake) but the cost would be quite cheap (under $300 total)

I am still looking at other options such as the JDM RS setup (if I can find a source for the rotors and caliper!). Input would be welcome here.
