That was quite a confusing read. If you have an LX with 4 wheel disc and it's not swapped you should have ABS as it was an option. Otherwise you should have drums on the rear.

The EX and V6 use a 1" booster if I recall and the LX is 15/16"

Not sure if they'll swap over but I'd imagine they would.

At this point (if I understand correctly), you've a 199x Accord LX non-ABS Booster / Master Cylinder assembly that has failed. This was operating a oem, non-abs Front Brake system and a rear Disc Brake conversion.

You may find that you'll have to stay within the '94 to '97 family of Accord brake systems. This is what I found:
Brake Boosters:
The Brake Booster for a non ABS system measures 8" Diam x 7" Deep
The Brake booster for an ABS system measures 9" Diam x 8" Deep.
Master Cylinders:
Non-ABS: 15/16 Piston bore Diam
ABS: 1.0" Piston Bore Diam. Reservoir larger on one example I found.
Both versions mount the same.

I can not comment on any issues you may experience with pistom depth or pushrod length. I personally have never had reason to do this. Whatever.
I hope this helps forward the discussion.
