Default S2k Feeling Brakes?

I drove my boss' s2k to buy lunch, i loved how the brakes felt. Very responsive, tight, & firm.

I currently have a 92 civic HB si and changed the master cylinder to a bigger one it is way firmer then my old master cylinder that was crapping out, but it doesn't feel as good as the s2k brakes..

Anyone know how i can get my brakes to feel like a s2k ?

Thanks In Advance...

you should just swap them out next time your boss lets you drive it.
Other then that wouldnt you have to change the whole front and rear brake setup also?

yea i was talking to my tuner and said SS steal lines would help with making the pedal feel more firm...

I think i'll do that (off to ebay).. Any thing else in terms of upgrading the size of the rotors biggier capliers, etc?

Pads make the biggest difference. I would get some good performance pads first.

Thats what im using. I did a rear disk conversion on my EX. When I did the conversion I used a 1" master, a 4040 prop valve, SS lines and Brembo sloted/drilled rotors. All of that made a big difference.
