The rear trailing arms with the disc brakes, and the parking brake cables from a 99 Si or 92-95 Si/EX w/abs would do.
You dont need a bigger master cylinder unless you are also upgrading the front calipers; if you have a mushy pedal, you have air in the lines. Bleed/flush 'er more. The rear disc calipers take about the same fluid volume as the rear wheel cylinders on the drums.
You may also need the 40/40 brake proportioning valve.
May as well get new trailing arm bushings while its out, they are about $32 each for the oem ones from honda, part number 52385-S21-003.
New rear discs are $9 ea from autozone, and pads are up to you, I'd recommend Hawk HPS about $38. Its up to you to rebuild the calipers or buy them rebuilt/new. Oh and dont forget the brake fluid.
Thats about all I can think of right now.

Re: brake swap for 94 hatchback (wilkerson05)
you should be able to use integra ebrake cables as well.
if you are keeping the stock 9.5" civic front brakes, use a 4030 proportion valve. If you are changing the front brakes to larger 10.3" disks and calipers from an integra, use a 4040 valve. some people don't change the valve at all, and don't have problems, but it will perform better with the correct prop valve.
and the 90-91 prelude Si 15/16" master cylinder bolts on if you wanted to upgrade that as well.

sorry to thread jack but i have a couple questions. am goona put some 93 ls rear brakes on my 95 cx and am not touching the front ones.
How would i make a 40/30 proportion valve? can i use an abs prop. valve?
The 93 ls has abs, and i read u cant use an abs 40/40 proportion valve, and i just wanted to install a non abs prop. valve but i dont know how i would identify an abs and non abs prop valve.
About the 15/16" master cylinder, i thought it was from a 91 ex sendan not a prelude si? or do both work?
