Default 88-91 Prelude Booster and MC on 88-91 CRX

I have searched but have not found any concrete information on this topic.

I want to know if the 88-91 Prelude Booster and MC is a direct swap to the 88-91 CRX. Thanks in advance for the help.

the booster will fit and the master cylinder will fit. the only thing you need to do is bend the brake lines just a little bit to get them to line up with the master cylinder. i have both of these on my 89 civic.

The EX master cylinder bolts right up to any other CRX and Civic booster, so you do not need to change that unless if you have too. Correct, you also do NOT have to bend the lines in anyway.

Yes, although they are both 15/16'', the mounting locations is different on the prelude MC (where it bolts up to the booster). You will need to use a prelude booster if you use the prelude MC, and can use the stock booster if you use the EX one.

No. I wouldn't mess with the booster, I'd put an EX one on.

the da integra is 15/16, and to put that MC in, it will pretty much be the same as the prelude si mc/booster. Just put in the da booster and MC and you will need to massage the brake lines a little and thats it.
