In fact you do not need the Integra lower control arms for the brake swap but the Integra lca's will provide a swaybar endlink mounting hole that is useful if you run a honda oem rear swaybar.

Swapping in a different master cylinder ONLY effects pedal travel, not by much, some people feel it is worth it, some do not.

Note that with an Integra Type R brake swap (5 lug) you really should swap in ITR brake lines since the ITR calipers are placed farther out from the knuckle nd without the longer lines they may bind up / rub / wear out prematurely.
