any ls/rs/gsr 94-01 integra rear, or 94-95 ex with abs/si hb rear disc will fit. you'll need 2door e-brake cables and brake hoses. dont forget to change the proportioning valve also

What he said and you will need a 40/40 prop valve. Some say 30/30 (which I run only because I havent gotten around to buying a 40/40) is ok.

I have searched before any1 asks and still no luck, so i thought i would join up and ask. No point in starting a new topic as i can use this 1. My question is i have a ek hatch with drums on rear and i also have a full front and rear brake set up from an eg9 saloon, will the rear disks from the eg9 fit on to my hatchie? if not what else would be needed for them to fit?

On the EK hatchbacks, all you need are the rear brakes, trailing arms, hoses and cables. You don't need to worry about the proportioning valve since it has the same one as the rear-disc 99-00 Si. The LCAs & rear shocks are different on the EG, so you will have to reuse all the stock EK control arms...

Because the donor car is a saloon (sedan in the US ), your going to have to get different parking brake cables to make it work. The hatchback has a shorter wheel base, so the saloon cables will be too long. I don't know exactly which cables will work on an EK hatch though... sorry.
