    Yours is a ex you don't need to change your master cylinder or brake booster, but you will need to change your proportioning valve to a 40-40 one (dx and si are the same). You will need a 99-00 si e brake cables.

    Nope, just get the rear disks conversion from a 94- 01 integra and bolt them on. You only change all those listed above if you wanted your brakes to be shorter or more sensitive.

    thats kinda the point of upgrading brakes unless he/she wants to do it for show only.

    I recently did a rear disk conversion on my 97 dx civic and used the cables that came with my rear disks and it worked fine. The cables seemed a tad shorter than my stock ones, but they worked fine

    I converted the brakes on my 88 dx turbo hatch with rear disc brakes off a 95 civic EX 4 door. Everything swaps right over and I used my factory e brake cables. You just have to adjust the cable in between the center console tighter, but everything else fits and operated just fine.
