Default Conversion parts list, need help. Brakes and power steering.

Hey there guys, I could desperately use some help here. I'm trying to list out EXACTLY what parts I need for my car here. I'm trying to first and foremost convert my brake system over in the rear. I'll be going to an auto salvage yard to get the parts so I need a list to figure out what all I need so I can get an accurate quote.

I also need to figure out what the parts I would need for power steering, even though the power steering conversion wouldn't come until I get the engine I want. I just want to get these things out of the way so I can plan these things out for the future.

This is the first time I've ever tried such things but I would really like to make it a nice summer project for my car. I hope somebody here can help me out. Thanks.

For the rear disc brakes, get the whole rear trailing arm with the brake components bolted onto them. If you have an EK, the best rear brake setup to get is the 99-00 Civic Si because the e-brake cables for it are a perfect fit in any EK.

I was thinking I was probably going to end up pulling them off of an Integra because it is a lot more common to find the parts off of those and I read that the same parts fit either way. If I need to couldn't I just order a replacement part for the e-brake anyways?

Yes, you can use Integra rear disc brakes, they are pretty much the same thing as the 99-00 Civic Si rear disc brakes, the only difference is probably the cables.

So what do I need? Rear lower control arm and everything else on the assembly and e-brake? Is that it?
P.S. Sorry about the reposts, the browser kept reloading them for some reason.

Use your stock LCAs, take everything else from the donor car.

4 Door Integra cables work on a coupe / sedan, while the 3 Door Integra cables work on a hatchback

Touch the post button one to many times bud. As for what you need. Keep your stock LCA, UCA and compensator arm. Grab the trailing arm off of the donor car. Hopefully it will have the calipers. Then you will need 99-00 Si brake cables. Or this route. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2251647
