Default good master cylinder for crx??

Well i have a wilwood 12.2 big brake upgrade with 4 piston calipers. I want to get another master cylinder that is a bigger bore. something that holds more fluid to keep the system cooler and but i want a piger bore to put that power for those 4 piston calipers. I used the 89 lxi accord before and worked fine, also the 90-93 integra is the same as the accord and will work. I have seen wilwood mastercylinders for 69.99 but, ud have to get new steel lines and bend them all to screw into the master cylinder and i really dont want to bother with any of that...any other master cylinder swaps? or how do u guys feel on the integra and LXi one??

I used the '90-91 Civic EX MC on mine. Bolted right up to the stock booster, and the lines fit right in without bending. Is 15/16" and has the larger reservoir.

IM running one from a 95 RS integra, works well too. But u gotta say goodbye to the strutbar. Look in my pic and see where the reservoir is.

If you change the MC, should you change the proportioning valve also?
