Just leave it. You aren't making enough power to need a brake upgrade on a DX.

Integra front brakes (with the integra knuckles) are a 100% bolt on deal and will give you considerably better braking.

abs doesn't matter for calipers.

I didn't know if it did or not, i want to build my other civic for pikes peak, so higher mods are ok. I've been looking into the 5 lug swap, so i can run a bigger setup. but i have no problem custom making Porsche brakes work some how since they will fit on just about everything.

not all integras come with ABS.. i have some off a 95 RS.. front and rear and the 40/40 prop valve. a good resonable priced swap. bolts right up, the prop valve may b different. from the DX and the DC.. just need to check. the one on the left is the one i have. i have seen the one on the right on some cars. i cant remember if that one is on a ek or if its on some of the eg's also. hopefully someone can clear that part for me. its been a lil while

Prop valve on the left is from a '92 - '95 Civic/'94 - '97 Integra ('90 - '93 Integra is the same as well except for the bracket). Prop valve on the right is from a '96 - '00 Civic/'98 - '01 Integra. Non-ABS in both cases.
