type r brake m/c.
i'm planning on installing a type r brake m/c, and i know to use the existing brake lines i have to bend them to fit the m/c. but i've also seen where some people use braided lines running to the m/c. is this possible with the setup i'm planning on doing, and if so, how do i go about doing it?
thanks!
thanks!

I don't know...what setup are you planning on doing? Or would I have to search for it?

Re: type r brake m/c. (philosofy1)
But what else have you done to the brake system?
If all else is stock, I would say its a waste of time and money. Increasing the diameter of the master cylinder lowers line pressure which reduces braking torque. When upgrading your braking system, increasing the diameter of the master cylinder should follow along with other brake upgrade, like more caliper piston area, big brakes, bigger rotors, etc.
If you still have enough travel in the brake pedal you don't need a larger master cylinder. When done without the proper brake upgrades you can actually end up having longer stopping distances.

he is saying that if you don't have ITR brake setups, the results may be even worse than your stock. and I agree with him. You only need ITR mastercylinder if you have done ITR 5lug conversion.
