Disc brake swap/master cylinder help
well I am about done with my entire suspension setup and was moving on to the master cylinder-I went and ordered a brake booster and master cylinder for a 99-00 civic ex because I new that I needed the 7/8 bore for the Si front disc/GSR rear disc setup-well the DX is supposed to have the 13/16 MC-BUT I went and looked a little closer at mine and its stamped 15/16-so this means I have an integra sized MC,so should I just keep the 15/16 stamped one or should I just go ahead and convert to the 7/8 bore MC?

yep 15/16 is bigger than 7/8s, like the other dude said...keep it.
im doing the same thing but im changing my 13/16 to a 7/8....same deal...DX hatch with Si fronts and Gsr rears. any one know the correct procedure on how to begin putting in brake fluid? i know the bleeding order, but when i take everything off, i will be 100% dry, so where do i start? do i leave all bleeders closed and keep pumping in fluid? or do i still do one at a time?
sorry to jack the thread, but it might be usefull to you too, if you decide to do the 7/8ths.

I stayed with the 15/16th and is feels fine-if your going to start all new just start from the resevior and just let it work its way down-it may take awhile to bleed but it should be fine
