(integra brakes, not gsr)
Integra knuckles are taller than the civic ex/si ones, so you will need an adjustable upper arm (camber kit) to correct this
Other than that, for what you received, its straight bolt-on, yes.
I really suggest you use at least a 7/8" master cylinder, but recommend 15/16 or 1" if possible...otherwise, the pedal will be very very soft/squishy

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
It's straight foward. However, if you change the prop valve to 4040, give yourself some time to change it. It was a bitch for me. Although I am using a stock 13/15" MC temporarily, it is recommended to go bigger. It doesn't feel soft/squishy as pdiggity said and the small MC can be used if you can't afford a larger one (like me).

THE BRAKE SWAP IS PRETTY MUCH EASY. JUST GET A SKUNK 2 CAM KIT NEEDED AND THATS IT ,MAKE SURE YOU BEELD THE BRAKES STARTING RIGHT THEN LEFT. ALWAY START WITH THE ONE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER.

this is the booster I used on my '93 CX when I swapped to Integra brakes, DEFINITELY firms up the pedal, I highly reccomend it
