Default Which of these part numbers (master cylinders) should I buy?

I was looking at the Majestic website and they list 3 MC for a 91 CRX. Figured I would ask here. Part numbers 86354 , 86353 , 86352 .

Here is the link, not sure if it will work.

And before anyone asks, I do not want to use the 15/16's from the EX as I have stock brakes and will continue to have stock brakes. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, and in response to the author of the thread, it doesn't mean you need to upgrade the brakes. It doesn't make the car stop faster, just shortens pedal travel and improves the feel slightly. Here's my writeup: http://www.rpi.edu/~downest/Prelude_MC_upgrade.txt. There are some pics in the directory there too.

Also should mention, you can get them at any local parts store, NAPA, Advance, etc, and they are a lot cheaper. I got mine from Autozone and it's a Nissin, which I believe is OEM.

i think thats because autozone sells "rebuilt" MC. so its going to be the same as OEM. but the "rebuilt" parts are not OEM. which are just seals and such i suppose.

oh and when they list more than 1 part number, it usually means the part has been superceded and no matter which one you choose, theyll give you the newest one, or the one thats in stock. i think whenever something like the OEM manufacturer changes, its another part number. samething goes with bearings. so i dont think its an issue which one you choose.

btw, which 91 crx do you have? HF, DX or Si?

It is a 91 Si. Thanks for everyone's help, I figured that contacting Majestic would solve the problem but I like going through H-T.

I didn't want to get a reman just in case there were any problems. I plan on tracking this car pretty soon so I do not want a failure then.
