Default 98 Civic EX w/ Rear Disc Conversion - bleeding, prop valve, brake booster questions

Gents - over the past weekend I did a rear disc conversion, using 1997 Integra Trailing Arms.
Remember this car has ABS so the Master Cylinder is already 15/16"
The Prop Valve has 4 holes (pic attached) and looks very different from a 4040 Civic Si prop valve with 6 holes.
I've Googled this for many hours nothing very clear about a Civic EX with ABS, and no I dont want to delete my ABS.
The Problem: The brakes feel soft and spongy. Yes I did bleed, and bleed and bleed. Same feel.
Question 1: From what I read ABS Bleeding Sequence is Front Left, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left which is contrary to NON-ABS Rear Right, Front Left, Rear Left, Front Right. -- can someone confirm this?
Question 2: Which Prop Valve to use? The Integra seem to have a 4040 Prop, but I will have to redo the hard lines, remember I need a Prop Valve for an ABS car - which only comes from Integra. Civic Si dont have ABS (I think, not sure)


Question 3: Would going to a 1" Brake Booster / MC (again from a donor Integra) solve the issue of the soft / spongy brakes?
Any help would be appreciated.
