master brake cylinder - upgraded? oem replacement
ok so i got a 93 ex sedan wit an ls swap. it came with factory 4 wheel disc brake and abs which from what i have come to learn was not a common thing in 93. anywho, i converted to integra disc brakes and years later my master brake cylinder is starting to leak, and was been having slight decrease in pedal feel and stopping power.
question is - is there any factory honda replacement that would work as an upgrade i.e. ctr/itr master brake cylinder or accord? dont know if they would work or if any gains would be had to convert. any help would be great about the topic.

Isn't the ABS MC 1"? You can't really get bigger than that. If you need a new master cylinder, just look for one off a 1994-00 Integra with ABS, so anything but the RS I think. (The fittings are different)
You could put stainless woven brake lines on, like the Stoptech ones or some others with a coating over the stainless weave. That would improve pedal feel.
Bleed the brakes well. Get some good pads and rotors. Otherwise you can do another brake swap. I'll let you search on that one.
