You need either 90-93 Inetgra front brakes, or 90-91 Civic EX brakes for the front.

For the rear you need 90-91 CRX Si brakes, or 90-93 Integra brakes.

You could also go with any 92+ civic rear discs, and 94+ teg rear discs. I wouldn't suggest the 90-93 front brakes, since you need to use the teg spindle, which messes up your suspension geometry. I'm assuming its not an Si, so you could get front calipers from a 94+ accord wagon/newer Odyssey/ITR, and they bolt right on with 92+ civic rotors and ~3mm shaved off the mounting surface for the caliper brackets (bracket-to-spindle surface). Note that you'll need at least 14" rims, maybe 15". That with a master cyl/brake booster upgrade, and your will have killer brakes.

you can use the 94 integra rear assembly as well. its what i got. and you DONT HAVE to change the master cyclinder, booster and prop valve, the pedal will just go to the floor more than normal if you dont.

u can also use the booster/ mc/and prop valve from a 94 teg as well. or any other year. mine were all 94 teg and i used the 1 inch m/c. however, if u change to the 1 inch m/c you will need the hard line that goes from the back of the m/c to the prop valve from same year integ. the stock crx one is too small on the flared fitting. you also need the caliper lines for the rear from the teg. they bolt right up to the hard line.

the ebrake cables from the si will work but you need the 91 si cables i believe.

also, that teg line from the prop valve to the m/c is a little long, i have mine running under the m/c and over the top of the resivor then to the m/c.

i will have pics when i get back home from cali on the 15th,
