94-01 integra non-abs. you want the proportioning valve, master cyinder and booster, e-brake cables, and the whole training arm asemblies.

Will that application fit on my car? I'm considering doing the same thing. Does it make your car stop better? How much should this run $ wise?

That setup does not work on 7th generation civics...I've heard of people using RSX stuff, but have never seen it done...

There you go

Edit: I would get a better set of front disc brakes, and just re-build the rear drum brakes.
The rear is only roughly 25% of your stopping anyway, that's a cheaper route.
I boguht a set of willwood front disc brakes from summitracing.com.
Completely worth it.
I was looking at rear disc brakes, and there aren't much for rears for these cars, the best disc brake kit you will find is what they basically use on stock Si's or SiR's.
