Default Brake experts: Brake setup/upgrade questions

I did a search and didnt find info on this...
I plan to put either 90-93 integra brakes, or 94+ integra brakes on my 89 crx HF
I plan to do the brake upgrade at the same time as drop'ing my b series motor.

Anyone have a good how to site?
Whats the difference between 90-93 integra brakes and 94+?
What other brake setups are good? What about SiR brake setup?
I own some HX rims, are they big enough to clear these brakes?
From what ive read, it seems like the 90-93 master cylinder/brake booster/prop valve will give me the best pedal feel, any feedback on that?
What about upgrading the back brakes aswell to 90-93 integra? Any noticable difference in braking?
How does the geometry of the integra suspention effect the alignment of the car, it seems like the EX knuckles are needed not to screw geometry up....
It seems like the SiR brake upgrade is the best way to go... will that clear my 14" HX rims? What brake setup would be best for the 14" rim?

Thanks to anyone that can help

what type of spacer do i need?
where could i buy one
and what about alignment problems with the 90-93 integra?
Will the 90-93 integra clear the HX rim?

I was under the auspise that they were pretty much the same brakes (90-93/94+)
pick up some gsr or 99-00si rims that'll help.
i think they are both 10.3" rotors, LS's come with 14''s, so they should fit under 14" mininmum.

my GSR system did not fit under my stock 1990 SI wheels
the suspention will be fine if you get the upper control arms from the donor car
i paid too much for mine. i also have the prelude MC and booster.
