Brake Upgrade - HELP!!!
Sup all. I know there is someone out there that can help me with this. I own a 93 Civic EX 2DR. My eventual plan is to move from my 1pot calipers in to something with a little more bite, most likely 2pot, maybe more. Here is my problem, the brake master cylinder in this vehicle is only intended to push the 1pot calipers. So when I upgrade, I'll have a mushy pedal. I know some of the USDM Integras have 2 pot calipers so I was wondering if this will bolt up in to my car. If not, who sells an upgraded master cylinder, or at least a larger plunger that will push enough fluid to move the brakes? Also I want a setup that is capable of running some silicon brake fluid (DOT5). ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Would the GSR or ITR MC bolt in? Or would there be major mods. I just haven't had a chance to compare bolt patterns to see if it would fit. I'm hoping someone has done this or seen it done to let me know. I work too much to play around with trying to find a MC that I can compare to mine. The NSX idea sounds great, I'll go test drive a new 04 from the local Acura dealer, ya think they might arrest me when they find their NSX parked on the side of the road with no MC.

Ive seen a couple EGs with ITR MC's, dont know whats involved but I would think it would bolt in since they use the same chassis.
