Take a look at the Master cylinder. see the 4 nuts? take those off and the lines and the M/C is in your hands. The booster is a bit harder but if yours works why bother.

You want the front suspension, the rear suspension, E-brake cables and Rubber brake lines, And you want the porportioning valve..

it's basically a remove hf parts replace w/ si parts.

use the si ebrake cables and brake lines.

the master cyl is easy, 2 brake lines, 2 bolts (or nuts?) and its off.

becareful of the brake fluid. it eats paint. wear rubber gloves.

I would only change the booster if you were getting big brakes like Teg or 90-91 EX Civic brakes.

Because you currently have e-brake cables that were meant for use for rear drums, you are going with rear disc brakes so you need e-brake cables for rear discs, the bracket where it mounts on the brakes is different.

yes. You dont need to replace the brake fluid hard lines, just the rubber ones.

It's only hard to get the tool you need in between the gas tank and the opening where the bolts are at, if you can do that then it's not hard at all.
