Help: I think I got ripped off...what MC/Booster is this??
I just bought a supposed "1994 non-abs Integra RS" Master Cylinder and Booster off a fellow H-T member.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, as I have yet to try to install the MC/Booster. To my understanding, all the integra RS (at least the 94+ generation) had 15/16th MCs (ala Tom's descriptions). But this one I just received has a big "1" stamped on it.
Is the H-T buyer right in saying it's a 1994 non-abs Integra MC and Booster? Let me know what you people think before I attempt to install this and find out later that I have to reflare some lines as this will be installed along with GSR front and rear brakes onto a 1993 EH3.
thanks.

That looks like a 1'in GSR master cylinder..and it doesn't matter if it is ABS or not, it will still work fine in your Civic. I am currently using the same one with my 5-lug setup...works great 
and you will only have to reflare 1 line only, the one right above the Nissin stamp, and you will need the flare nut from an Integra because they are larger than the ones from a Civic M/C..so buy that first..

Re: Help: I think I got ripped off...what MC/Booster is this?? (Supertwinz)
LOL, I'm not sure what you mean by that. To my understanding the 1" MC and Booster is great for people with ABS, but with my 93 EH, there isn't ABS and this MC and booster won't just bolt on w/out any mods (requires reflaring of 1 line according to Blue-Civic-Hybrid).
I thought I was going to receive the non-abs 15/16th MC and Booster that will bolt up w/no modifications.
supertwinz and BCruzSpec, are you suggesting I keep this MC and Booster combo? Wouldn't the 1" be overkill for stock GSR calipers/rotors? Wouldn't the 15/16th MC and Booster save me time in the long run?
