Default crx brake upgrade?

Been researching a stage 2 brake upgrades for a CRX for light track, Auto X, and daily driver use. Found out about the Legend/Cooper upgrade for the Integra front brakes, and the RSX/Si upgrade for the 92-95 Civic rear brakes. From what I have read this should work on a CRX. This is a list of parts I think I will need. If you know the year(s) of the car and model(s), part numbers, have any suggestions on brands please help me out.
Front
-1991 CR-X Si front stainless steel brake lines
-1990-1993 Integra 4040 proportioning vale
-1990+ Integra master cylinder - with out ABS
-1990+ Integra brake booster - with out ABS
-1994 Acura Legend GS calipers and brackets - front calibers?
-1994 Acura Legend GS - or - 2004-2008 TSX pads? - front calibers?
-Mini Cooper-NON-S rotors 280mm - What Year(s) and Model(s)?
Rear
-1991 CR-X Si rear stainless steel brake lines
-2002-2006 RSX rear calipers
-2002-2006 RSX rear pads
-2002-2003 Civic Si hatchback rear rotors

Check this link out. Also the 90-91 EX 15/16 master is a direct bolt on, no line bending.

Why the Integra Master Cylinder though? That is a 1" bore and fairly large. I went with a 15/16" from a 90-91 Civic EX four door which is direct bolt on.

For the rears I went with DA rear arms, which is more than enough for my application. How much larger are the Civic Si Rotors vs the DA rotors?

91 civic ex 15/16" bore $ 36.44 It's direct bolt on to the 91 booster
The rotors are from a 07 Mini Cooper non s
But u got to make sure u have the 262mm knuckles that's the part I'm at right now I have 242mm need to figure out what cars will be direct bolt-on to upgrade to 262mm some ppl have swapped and had a camber problem because some are a hair longer creating a problem
