Big Master Cylinder Donor Cars?

I was wondering what cars come with a big master cylinder (15/16 or 1") that'll work in a 2G CRX. I remember reading Accords- but what year/model?

Thanks
Ben

90 integra 4 door is a one inch and the lines are in the same place, but I think you need the brake booster as well.

Reeaaaallly?

I didn't know that... and I have an EX.

Doing the rear disc conversion... would I need the proportioning valve from the Integras? No big deal... I already have one from an Integra, but I was just curious.

I used a 93 Civic booster/Master Cylinder in my 88 CRX. Its a 7/8 MC if I remember right. Everyone told me that it would not fit because the bolt holes are different. To my surprise, they were not and it bolted right in.

Totally pointless. That is a 15/16" MC and so is the 4g Civic sedan EX. Why bother with the integra MC and booster (booster is not easy to put in) when all you have to do is put in the EX MC and be done?

What if I want to use an even bigger MC? How about a Legend?

No it's not pointless, a 12 year old brake booster probably needs to be replaced anyways, just looking at mine it's rusted in a few spots and not in the best condition. Not an easy job, but it needs to be done.

It's a full 1 Inch M/C
