I believe you will also need to change out the brake booster. I'm not sure if it's worth it unless you plan on switching to rear disc, or upgrade to 4 piston calipers. All the larger GSR parts do is push more fluid through the lines, which is only really needed if you have major upgrades. If you are looking for better pedal feel, and solid braking, just upgrade to SS lines. It's an cost effective, and a pretty simple install which make your brakes feel damn good. But that's just my somewhat rookie opinion.

Nope. It's an ABS unit and will require a double flare of the rear fitting because it uses an ABS fitting.
BUT!
Buy any 1994-1997 Integra booster and an Integra RS master cylinder. It bolts straight up and requires no line bending or re-flaring. Your Civic lines will screw in just like stock. The RS had no ABS, so it uses the normal lines and fittings like you CX does.
