take out every suspension parts. brake lines, drive shafts( u don't need to but what the hell rite?) trailing arms, camber arms, LCAs, whatever you can get. switch all suspension parts to type-r. not just the brakes.

can i have the motor, i'll come pull it out. but just take everything from the type r and swap it over. the most important is the e-brake cables and the brake lines.

Front: knuckles with the calipers n' disks. You won't use the DC upper A arms or the LCAs
Rear: complete trailing arms with the calipers and disks. You won't need the DC LCAs
Take the whole brake booster and Master Cylinder. * recommended
Take the 5 lug wheels... or buy my extra Prelude wheels
* also recommended
To put them on a 96-99 Hatchback, you'll need to buy 99-00 Si brake lines as well as the ebrake cables/hardware. If you decide to use the ITR MC, you'll need a 99-00 SI prop valve.
I have the setup on my 99 hatch. I love it.

You don't need to swap over the Si prop valve unless your car is an EX. I was under the same misconception and spent the time and money to swap it over with my previous car. However, after I did the brakeswap on my current car (2000 hatch), the prop valve stayed the same and the brakes work exceptionally well.
