If Im pulling them from a DC integra, what all do I need to take? will the ebrake cables work?

I haven't done one on an ek but I have done a few on ef's so I don't know if they are exactly the same procedure or not but with the da ones you can use the e-brake cables to your stock ebrake. Just re-use your lower control arms, camber arm, strut and spring assemblies, and compensator arm. I'm not so sure thought I am an ef guy maybe someone else will be able to clarify a little better for your application.

take the whole rear trailing arm and e brake cable, and if it's non-abs take the 40/40 proportion valve. i've heard some dood's take the brake cylinder also but i've never

Oh okay...I just had new bushings put in the ones on my car...and it would be nice to not have to replace them again..= )

upper and lower arms are okay from the EK?

did this swap a month ago, you can just pull the hubs from the trailing arms, its way easier in my opinion... hubs, rotors, calipers, brake lines, ebrake cables and that's about it. You need a star shaped socket to get the hubs off but it’s easy to find one anywhere. ALL ek prop valves are the same and are NOT compatible with Integra ones so don’t bother with that. Everything else bolts up the same, there are five or so bolts (those star shaped ones) on the back of the hub that attach it to the trailing arm, take those off, take the bolt off the brackets for the ebrake cables (might have to move exhaust heat shield), pull the carpet up and center console for access to ebrake cables inside the car… hope this helps.

edit: you have to take the axle nut off of the hub too and its a weird size, 22mm i'm pretty sure.

i want to say a 50 for some reason, yes on torx, i borrowed this set my step brother has, he got it from checker and it has a socket adapter with a bunch of different torx sizes that slide in and out, worked fine... here are pics of the bolts,

i hate taking that stuff apart! i would personaly just take off the whole trailing arm its much easier. just keep your upper and lower control arms its pretty straight forward
