you basically need all the parts off the si, with the possible exception of the hand brake cables which might be too short. the 92-95 civic ex has rear disks and you can use those cables.
make sure you use the correct proportioning valve. i think it's marked
3540. google this group for some info i posted on that a while back.fyi, there's not a massive amount of point using a crx as a donor. it has standard size front disks and servo. you're better off using a
92-95 civic ex or an integra as the donor - bigger disks. in the case of the ex, bigger direct fit servo too. the integra has a different servo and master cylinder, which is a pita, but it has the 4040 proportioning valve.if you're not swapping out the whole rear suspension arms, what most people do, you'll need a #50 torx socket for the stub axles. do /NOT/ use those one-piece drives from lisle - they're utter crap and shear off. get a two-piece driver from an auto parts supplier like napa.
