Default gsr brakes swap

i got my hands on a set of gsr brakes to swap it onto my ej2 but the setup is missing a few pieces. i was wondering if some parts from the ej2 disc/drums would fit the gsr setup (e.g. nuts, bolts, hubs, etc.) or would i have to get them from the same gsr setup?
any info would be appreciated, tanks.

you need the knuckles, rotors, calipers, LCAs, ebrake cables, proportioning valve, and booster from a GSR for it all to work. that is, if you are doing a drum to all wheel disc conversion.

Some will say that the valve and booster arent necessary....but since we are talking brakes, you don't want to half *** it. I'm sure your insurance company wouldnt like it if you slammed into someones car because your brakes, that you installed, failed.

i ran around without the proper prop. valve for a long time. the right one being a "4040"

and it just didnt feel right.

i swapped it... and it feels amazing now. so do it all right the first time!

thanks for the info, but i already know what i need to do the drum to disc conversion. but what i would like to know is if the hubs from the drum assembly would work fine on the disc assembly being that they are both the same bolt pattern; or would i have to get the everything from a gsr?

You need the hubs from an '88 - '00 civic or '90 - '01 Integra with rear disc brakes.
