I will be picking up a set of GSR brakes for the "project car" of mine and just checking in to make sure that I dont need to get a new prop valve and brake booster for just swaping out the front brakes. I did do a search and did not get a solid answer.

Anything eles I need to swap then in?

If all you're doing is swapping the front brakes, then no, you don't have to worry about the prop. valve. Only time you need to worry about getting the 4040 prop. valve is if you're converting your rear brakes from drums to discs.

Now then, what you will also need are ideally the front knuckle assemblies from the GS-R as well (knuckles, brake calipers and rotors, bolts, etc.).

And when you do switch up the brakes, make sure you upgrade your brake booster and brake master cylinder, if currently you're running the puny 13/16 one. I know I'm leaving a few other things out, but this should help you some.

Is the the old (1991 I think) 4dr ex brake booster/master cylinder I need to buy?

I think so. Not entirely sure on that, so you might wanna search around a little more on that part. Same deal with the brake booster. Wish I could help ya more though!

if you buy the 91 civic EX MC then you dont need to change out the BB. I had GSr fronts on my 92 si with puny MC. IT was way better than stock but the brake pedal went down a little further. you can go without changing the MC if you can put up extra pedal pumping.
