Brake Swap 94 EX Sedan w/ ABS to 94 DX Coupe
This is my first post, so please be gentle. I've done quite a bit of searching, and just want to make sure I've got the right idea on this.
I recently purchased a 94 DX coupe to build into a daily driver. A buddy of mine has a wrecked 94 EX sedan w/ 4 wheel disc and ABS that is my parts car. I'm planning to pull the brakes from all four corners to upgrade the DX. I've got the basics from the FAQ, but my main question comes with the Master cylinder, prop valve, and brake lines. I was just going to pull his master cylinder, are there any fit issues going from the Sedan to the Coupe? For the proportioning valve, the one used on a 4 wheel disc non-abs 94-94 EX, correct? For the brake lines, I was going to pick up some braided lines, but on Tire Rack they are showing one set for ABS and one set without. From what I read there is no difference but wasn't sure. I was going to just pick up the Goodridge lines, but if anyone had another preference please let me know.
Also, I'm going to grab the engine and trans to swap in, gauge cluster and dead pedal. Is there anything else worthwhile to grab while I have the car?
Thanks for any help.

get a '91 EX master cylinder, or a brake booster and MC from a non abs integra. proportioning valve i believe also needs to come from an integra. I'm not aware of a non abs EX sedan with 4 wheel discs. While you're there grab the arm rest center console, front and rear sway bars, lower control arms, front knuckles, axles, ECU, engine wiring harness, cruise control.
Thanks for the input on the master and proportioning valve.
I'd planned to pull the lower control arms, front sway, ECU, knuckles and wiring harness but forgot to mention. I wasn't sure if it had a rear swaybar, so thats good to know. Good call on the cruise and center console.

forgot to mention, as far as the brake lines are concerned. The rear flex hoses on civics and integras are about twice as long as those with drum brakes, you will also need the parking brake cables.
