What parts are needed to complete a Integra brake swap on to a Civic? I am assuming I need calipers, rotors, master cylinder from an Integra. Do I need anything else? I am going junkyard shopping tomorrow (Don't worry I am not going to get rotors from the junkyard).

You might need the suspention upright for the front. I believe the Integras have larger/heavier duty front bearings and hubs than most of the EG's (5th gen Civics) came with. The caliper mouint on the upright is different so to use the Integra brakes you need to gran the front uprights as well. The I believe EX coupe and sedan had the heavier duty uprights, hubs, brakes, etc. but came with rear drum brakes.
I don't know what interchanges between the DC (Integra) and EK (6th Gen Civic).

They sell the entire kits at affordable prices. They'll give you a new caliper mount so all you'll be doing is a brake job.
So from most of my looking, I just take the whole rear trailing arm assembly and I am good. Am I off on this? The car in question is a 93 Civic EX. I was planning a rear disc brake swap.

If you wanna use OEM then yes all you need is the rear trailing arm assembly as well as brake hoses and cables. Careful though. That job usually leads to a "while I was in there" crisis.
If you're anywhere near Texas, we're selling the entire suspension off our '09 Challenge car ('92 Civic hatch) with a GSR 4-wheel swap. We went ahead and got the entire suspension off an Integra, cleaned and painted it all. I'd love to pass it on to a fellow GRM'er.

For the rear you want the complete rear trailing arm assembly, brake lines and e-brake cables. I'd grab the master cylinder and proportioning valve also. The front to rear bias is different on rear drum brake cars.
I've seen a Wilwood ad in the last couple of H-T magazines. They are advertising a bolt on Civic kit for $499... seems like a good deal.
