The 96-00 civic Cx-Si prop valve are all the same, so dont worry about that.

The ebake cables are something you are going to need.
96-00 Ex or Si, same part number.

Around here in N.Y., people are selling this type of set up for about $150 - $200.

Ebrake cables are the same...? I thought the ebrake cable for the drums on Ex didn't work with discs. And ti jus has to be a 40-40 prop valve. He has a dx so either way he has to get a prop valve. And like I said I'm not sure on what the gsr prop valve is, so best bet is to buy a cx/si one.

Alryte so i got it for 85$ and i looked on the forum [Scott53092] gave me and i dont need to change the ebrake cables or the prop valve. the e brake cable i just gotta re adjust it cuz its a lil longer then the SI ones. and the prop valve i can just move it to a diff spot and it should fit. and i can only use one bolt to screw on.

Wat i need is a diff brake line. and a Integra Master Cylinder. other then that i should be fine. I probly would get a Si Prop valve so it fits perfect. but i dont need to change the E Brake line.

I don't think you need the master cylinder, your pedal will just be a lil softer.

The prop valve is fine.

Since your doing this swap, you should upgarge your brake lines (99-00 Si)

I used Goodridge brake lins, you really feel a diff.

You have to get 99-00 si brake lines no matter what, can either go to like napa and get rubber ones or stainless doesn't really matter, stainless are overkill unless you are racing but the price difference might not be huge...
