It isn't absoultely nessecary to upgrade it, but the brake pedal will feel mushy if you don't. If it was my car I would absolutely upgrade the master and booster at the same time.

As for the rears I think they are the same, but I'm not positive. Anyone??

The 94+ integra has a 15/16's master, use that master and that brake booster.

pointless if you ask me... you dont have to do all that. just get drilled/sloted rotars with some ebc or some performance pads. breaks real nice! just add some steel braded break lines to that and you got some good stopping power... just my opinion.

drilled/slotted rotors are silly and almost pointless with todays well venting pads

You probaby should upgrade to at least a 15/16 mc from an integra or abs civic (or hell, del sol vtec). Any integra/civic/del sol mc/bb will bolt in - at the very least, you will have to rebend and/or reflare a hardline (easy) to use abs sized fittings.

All rear disc setups are identical

(please, say "and" instead of "n")

edit***
Oh, if you look under the "helpful faq" thread at the top of the forum, you'll find my how-to for swapping in a 1" mc/bb from an itr.

More information can easily be found by doing a little searching

i think we're not understanding eachother so i took the liberty to put this:

Stock motors were:
93-97 U.S. spec Del Sol's...
93-95 (OBD1):
Del Sol S - D15B7 SOHC non-VTEC - 102hp@5900rpm 98tq@5000rpm
Del Sol Si - D16Z6 SOHC VTEC - 125hp@6600rpm 106tq@5200rpm
94-95 (OBD1):
Del Sol VTEC - B16A3 DOHC VTEC - 160hp@7600rpm 111tq@7000rpm
96-97 (OBD2a):
Del Sol S - D16Y7 SOHC non-VTEC - 106hp@6200rpm 103tq@4600rpm
Del Sol Si -D16Y8 SOHC VTEC - 127hp@6600rpm 107tq@5500rpm
Del Sol VTEC - B16A2 DOHC VTEC - 160hp@7600rpm 111tq@7000rpm


this is what i know.. there done
