Get rear disc. brake assemblies and trailing arms from 99-00 Si. Or if you have the cash you can go to http://www.fastbrakes.com and order their rear disc conversion, I think it's $600. You can also purchase bigger rotars calipers from them too.

so will everything form a from a 94+ integra.ls, gsr, doesn't matter. all the same shiznit. just use YOUR EXISTING lca's. even e-brake lines from a 4dr teg bolt up perfectly. they worked for me, and they'll work for you.

There is a 7 page long thread about replacement brake parts for the JDM 96 Spec. ITR 4-lug Conversion: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=514109

So far, there is no simple quick/easy bolt-on replacment rotors/calipers for this brake conversion.
