flare? i'm not sure if you have to flare. i do you might have to rebend the line.
you need a tube bender. you a good one you'll pay about $20 at autozone.

you're correct, you just have to bend the lines so it lines up to thread it in. autozone, sears, harbor frieght sells the pipe bender.

oh yeah, which proportioning valve should i use. i've heard people say si, instead of integra. i have gsr front and rear, with bb/mc on a 97 civic lx. integra makes sense to me. also does abs have anything to do with this swap?

if your car has abs, it won't have a proportioning valve(PP) on it because the abs pump in it is used in it's place.
