you can get some conversions with rims already ...
as for your question , you can still keep your stock MC and booster.
but to get the best out of the conversion you can replace the MC with an itr and aso the proportion valve for SI 99-00

Just out of curiosity where are you getting your conv. from. I'm looking to do the samething with my HB. Does anyone know how much the ITR MC and SI proportion valve would cost. Is a junk yard my best bet.

It would be best to switch to the ITR brake booster and master cylinder.

What the hell is it with everyone, he's asking for help as to wether he needs to change his booster and MC , he doesnt need to hear all the **** about WHY are you gonna spend the money, that's nobodies business but his, If your not going to help out go flame somewhere else!
Listen bro I think its an awesome upgrade that you wont regret, what good is it to be so fassst if you have no control, and having stock brakes equals having NO CONTROL .
get yourself a 99 Si prop valve which goes for about $100.00 bucks
and as far as the MC and booster , you should get the 94 LS integra because you do NOT have to bend any lines, it's a complete bolt on and it has the BIG MC that you need to have the full potential of your brakes.
Again if your tight on money you do not need the MC and booster in order to get it going but you should atleast do the prop valve cause your switching to rear disc now and the distrubution is diffrent from the one your car brings. Incase you don't know you'll also need any integra E brake cables. Hope this helps , later
