Looking for something to do this weekend. Planned on a brake upgrade.
Currently have SiR knuckles with DA rotors/calipers on all corners, 4040 valve, and 88 dx bb/mc.

Which setup will produce more stopping power?

88 dx booster with one of the following mcs (89 accord lxi, 89 prelude, or 91 civic ex) or the DA non abs bb/mc?

If you think the DA setup will work better please explain why. I need a good reason to swap out a booster that works perfectly.

Thanks to everyone who participates.

 

the integra m/c is 15/16 just use the biggest one, i really dont think you need a bigger one i have the same setup i didnt see a difference when i swapped, my buddy was running nsx caliprs with the stock m/c and it was fine

The 89 accord lxi, 89 prelude, and 91 ex all use 15/16" master cylinders.

yep...the brakes are fine, but i think they could be better. Is it possible that you didn't notice a difference because your booster was undersized after you installed a larger mc?

I noticed the DA booster was slightly larger than the civic booster. I'm thinking the DA booster has a larger diaphragm since the black canister is bigger. Can anyone confirm?

which setup will actuate the mc pistons with more force when i apply the brakes? DA bb/mc or ED brake booster with 15/16" mc

Can anyone answer this question?

 

the larger booster will provide more brake assist/brake force when you push the pedal, provided MC's are the same size.

Thank you that's what i thought.
