Default Disk swap.. what suspension to use?

I have a 91 Civic STD.

I am reading from searches that I will need 90-91 EX fronts (for my B16 axles to fit) and to do the rears, Ill need 90-91 Integra rear disks, LCA (including trailing arm, but keep stock compensator arm)

If I want to do suspension, do I order shocks and springs for an Integra? or Civic? How about Sway bars (if I used 90-91 integra LCA)

PLEASE CORRECT ANYTHING I MIGHT BE WRONG ON!!

Thanks.

You can use dx/si hubs up front if you can't find the bigger ex hubs. The ex uses larger brakes and therefore they are sought after.

I did the same sort of swap on my wifes EF Std.
We used CRX Si rear trailing arms & used a Civic Si suspension
When i installed everything i used Integra emergency brake cables & used new rotors & pads
We used the front spindles off of the same CRX Si here are some pics

i heard if you use the trailing arms from an Integra it will throw your alignment off

Im using the rear disks off of a del sol for my disk swap. Heres the the thing, theyre coming off of my friends '97 CX and hes using a 99-00 Si E-brake cable. Will the Si E-brake cable be long enough for my sedan? Im almost positive it will I was just wondering if anybody else had any experience with this swap.

Thanks!
