Default dc2 brakes on 1997 civic hx

I have a 97 hx that needs new wheels bearing so i thought i would just upgrade to integra brakes all around but im not sure what parts i need. So far i know i need an integra master cylinder, brake booster, prop valve, front knuckles, rotors, calipers, e brake cable and rear disc setup but im confused on what I need to make the front integra brakes bolt up.

Why would you need a different master cylinder and brake booster? The stock ones will be just fine. The proportioning valves should be the only thing you need to change under the hood.

Unless the master cylinder is bad, its a waste of money and labor. Then you have to worry about bench bleeding. And if you dont do that right, it might screw up the seals in the brand new master you installed.
