Default Help with my Rear disc brake swap

I have a 92 Honda civic Lx, Also I have All rear disc brake system from 92 acura Integra to put in my civic. Is true I need to change the proportion valve and the master cylinder? if is true, what kind is and where I can find It. (web page) and it is true can I use Integra 4040 prop valve

My car don't have ABS, and the front disc brake is the original from the car, the rear disc brake is original from acura integra 92, and the original master cilinder is 13/16. I need change any way the master cilinder and the promp valve?
if so which one I need

lookin good! where'd you get the slotted rotors? I would have gone with blanks if I were you. The idea that the slots help to cool the brakes was disproven a long time ago. I mean, just look at F1 cars.... they run blanks.

Plus, there is a ton of horror stories of cheap slotted rotors failing and locking up

Well, This Rotor and ceramic pads kit and the other kit for my speed6 I bought from E-bay and both works great, no complain about it
