you will need itr booster as well. You will need to flare the lines to fit those on. While you're at it change the prop valve as well

read this thread... maybe you'll have a better idea of what parts to use, you have Non ABS car, ITR is ABS....so there's complication with flaring the lines...alot of guys use 94-up integra RS MC\booster combo with the integra (4040)\civic (3030) proportioning valve to get even brake distribution...

i swapped out my stock mc and bb in my ek for an itr mc and bb before i did my gsr disc swap. you will need the bb to complete you install. as far as flaring, i didn't have to flare any lines but i also didn't swap out my prop valve. i'm still using the stock one and haven't had any problems stopping

the prob valve is part of the master cylinder. I don't care if lines need to be re-flared as my mechanic will do that. I don't know anythign about brakes yet. thanks for the help.

You can't use the EG 40/40 porp valve on an EK.

Get the 99-00 Si porp valve. Works great!! Everything lines up correctly.
