I dont know the advantages/disadvantages of an upgraded master, but contact Len and he can hook you up with the stocker. You may be able to search around the archives, I remember a detailed post of an aftermarket master cylinder install.

Member: jowee1162 did the write up of the Omni MC. There have been some mixed reviews on the product. There should be some info in the archives.

Personally I'd just replace it with the OEM part

I agree OEM is the best for replacement parts! I just replaced mine, which was leaking at 70,000 miles. I got the OEM one for around $85 give or take a few bucks. Also, I had to clean the carpet because the brake fluid soaked into it, from leaking for a while. We all know that break fluid is not good on your paint!

I have the Omni Power Clutch Master Cylinder.


It has about 3-4" of pedal travel without being adjusted. I'd say 2x stiffer than stock. Took me about 3 days of light driving to get used to it. Engages very easily once you are used to it and is almost invisible under normal driving.

I have the new revised (final revision) version which uses an OEM seal so there are no issues of it failing as some have experienced.

I highyl recommend this for anyone who doesn't like the stock pedal travel and especially if you already have a clutch (Action 6-puck in my case). This almost feels like what I would imagine a sequential transmission does, minus the shifting.

I have the Omni in my R and reccomend it anyone that doesn't wanna spend $500 on a clutch for the stiffer feeling pedal. There were problems with the original batch, but that's all been addressed and taken care of.

Oem all the way. You'll probably want to replace the release cylinder while you're at it to, but it's usually around $50.

With 60,000 miles the clutch feels new and easier to depress than most cars; OEM
