That's for a 5th gen, but it's basically the same. You can use 94-01 Integra, Del Sol, or 92-00 Civic parts. If you use Del Sol parts, you'll need Civic or Integra parking brake cables. If you have ABS and want to retain it, you'll need the ABS sensors from the donor car(Some rear-disc Civics had ABS, as do all GSR Integras, I'm not sure about Del Sols).

As for the fronts, they usually come as an entire spindle/knuckle/hub assembly, so you just swap the entire assembly over with the lines from the donor car. It'd be a good ida to use new lines, pads, and rotors. You may also want to see if the donor calipers need to be rebuilt. If your existing master cylinder is 13/16", I would upgrade to at least a 15/16" MC, or go to a 1" MC/booster combo.
