Default Salvaging parts from a 4th Gen Prelude

My boy's prelude got totaled and he's giving me firts dibs on any parts I want. I was thinking about taking his front hub assembly since my gf's 96 accord has the hub over rotor. Thing is that we just changed her upper control arm and lower balljoint, if I swap over the prelude's hub, would that negate all the work we just did? Also, is it worth it to get the calipers and rotors from the prelude? Is it more beneficial then just getting a set of Rotora or Powerslot Rotors and Axxis Pads for an Accord? Any other parts you think I should look into taking? TIA.

I don't think you will benefit from the Prelude brakes. What model Prelude is it?

I believe it's an Si, it's got AWS I know that much. I'm not gonna take the seats because 1) my gf's accord has leather and 2) I might have someone interested in buying the entire interior and while I appreciate my boy giving me free first dibs, I'd rather take the small things and try to make him some money from this accident.

But I'd still like to know if switching to Prelude Hubs will negate the new UCA and lower balljoint we just installed on the accord. Thanks for all the input so far.
