You don't need a 15/16 MC unless you install Integra 10.2" front brakes.

You will need a 40/40 proportioning valve for your rear disc swap, and integra 2dr e-brake cables...

I wouldn't buy the lcon traction bars without first replacing the bushings in the front upper and lower control arms along with changing the compliance bushings on the lcas.

I wouldn't bother with the rear omnipower arms unless yours are damaged.

Don't waste money on the rear discs. Swap to the larger front discs from a Teg or civic EX. Get the front sway bar and lcas while you are at it. Yes the sway will make a difference when launching.

Replace any worn motor mounts, namely the rear, tranny mount, and upper driver's side mount.
