rear disk upgrade, now soft pedal...what do i need to fix?
i switched the rear drums to disks on my 95 hatch from a 94 integra...
the pedal has become much softer than before and requires quite a bit
of force to get the brakes goin....
what do i need to improve this feel? booster and m/c? or maybe just
a proportioning valve...need some suggestions

rebleed the system it sounds like you still have air in it. Start at the rr,lf,lr,rf bleed each one with a hose into a clear container with brake fluid in the bottom until all bubbles are gone and fluid is clear. Make sure and keep the M/C topped off with fluid

I'm not sure if those will help pedal feel but will more than likely make the brakes work better.
As mentioned above bleed the brakes lines. I did a similar swap on my car and after bleeding them the brakes work like a champ. Read the manual on the proper way to bleed the brakes.

Yeah bleeding them will def. help. I think you only need the stuff I listed if you do the bigger front calipers also. With just the rears you should be fine with your stock stuff but if it doesn't improve with just a bleeding of the lines try replacing the MC and the prop valve.
