I'm pretty sure the hybrid has the same brakes as the DX/LX, 10.3 inch discs up front and 8 inch drums in back, so I think the master cylinder is the same.
As far as I know you would have to replace the knuckle and possibly other suspension parts for a swap. You would also need the hubs, lines and obviously the calipers, pads and rotors from an EX. I wouldn't recommend welding on suspension parts. Even if you are an expert welder, welding still sets up the possibility of corrosion. Failure of suspension parts will cause a serious accident, so I don't think it's a good idea. I think the best bet is just to go to a salvage yard and pull the entire (undamaged) rear suspension from a wrecked EX. That way you should have everything you need.
