Default Bigger brake master cylinder swap?

I have access to BOTH:

00 SI master cylinder and
98 Acura CL master cylinder (supposedly same as Type R?).

Would either of these be benifecial to my CX hatch? If so which would be better?

The ONLY difference a bigger bore MC does is take less pressure to make the brakes engage.

CX brake pedel needs to be pushed a little further to engage the brakes.

ITR, Si takes less pedel pressure to engage the brakes.

Get it?

Also, a 99-00 Si MC on a 92-95 Civic means you'll have to bend the hard lines to line up to the newer MC. Not worth it. Get a 94-95 integra MC since the hard lines are in the same place.

HTH,

More specifically, get an integra RS master cylinder. Since they didnt have ABS it is a perfect plug and play part for your hatch.
