Default upgrade mc and booster in EF HF?

Hey fellas I am looking for my choices for upgrading my brakes. I am running an crx hf ... b16a powered... fastbrakes 11" on the way, and rear disc.
What are the different type of mc and booster that are interchangable?
I really dont want to flare out any brake lines. I kinda wanted a plug and play. I know that the crx si and 90 civic ex sedan is a bit bigger then the hf (13/16?) does the 90-93 teg bolt right up? I also want to be able to find these parts in a yard.
TIA
-andrew

I put a 90-93 teg MC/Booster in my 89 civic. It was a real pain! It would be the best if you could do it without an engine in the car! But it was well worth it. My car had awsome braking power. To really get a feel how much better it is I have to drive a stock Civic for a day or to and then hop in my car. It so much better then stock. I also have the 11" prelude/civic ex/ Type R conversion. And 90 teg rear disk too. The one thing you will need to do is redo the brake lines at the MC so they fit right.

Just go with the 90-91 EX master cylinder it is 15/16. It will be plug and play.

The bolt pattern for the DA is different from the ED
If you want the biggest possible booster, grab an 86-89 Integra unit and run either the 86-89 Integra 15/16" or the 87 Prelude Si 15/16" (same part).
