Default 99-00 SI brake assembly onto 92-95 Civic

I'm sure most of you HATE these threads and I've been on this board long enough to hate people that don't search. Being that you can't search 'Si' since it's only 2 letters, I've tried sorting through the hundreds of posts that people put up each day about brake swaps.

I have a 93 CX which has drums. The stopping on this car is horrible. I'm trying to keep costs down and have been looking at all the brake swaps being done. I've found a cheap set of 99-00 Si brakes which includes:
- E-brake cables
- front spindles
- f/r rotors
- rear trailing arms
- mastercylinder and brake booster

From what I've read, I'll just need a 40/40 prop valve but I can get that from a 92-95 Si or any Integra, correct? (I'll also prob just get some steel braded brake lines as well)

Only questions I have are that the information I found have been vague. One post said:

It can be done...."however the 99-00 si swap is a little more involved"

Also this post:

Can someone tell me for sure whether I am able to directly swap over this 99-00 Si brake assembly onto my '93 CX?

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

I also forgot to mention that I'm definitely going to be adding sway bars for both front and rear. I imagine just like the integra brake swap, doing this Si swap will enable me to put sway bars on front/rear?

I ride on that setup daily. what do you need to know?
front - mount the knuckle from the SI to your lower and upper arm, everything else goes together from there just like the SI.

rear - drop your trailing arms and e-brake cables. bolt in the SI's.

the most difficult part was that the brake lines didn't match up to the master cylinder.

Thanks. I PM'd you as well but I was curious if the stock lower control arms on the front have a hole for moutning a sway bar.

It's a 1993 CX so I wasn't sure. (Just bought this a couple weeks ago to do a swap) If there isn't, what front LCA can I swap out to get this?

(PM'd ya back)
the CX came with no sway bars nor sway mounting holes in the LCAs.

I have a set from a 95 SI on my VX.
