Default should i use a 99 si brake master cylinder or get the correct one?

I have a 99 si brake master cylinder which has the brake lines on the opposite side of my 93 civic, should i go get the correct one for the 93 or should i just bend the brake lines to fit the 99 cylinder? i have the brake booster also since the mc is in a completely different posistion also mounting. Any downsides? car has no abs, came from the factory with rear disks.

Are you looking for a larger MC? Get a 91 EX 15/16" MC. The brake lines are the same and bolts up to your stock booster. Plus it's larger than the 7/8" Si MC.

If you have larger brakes, you need more pressure.

if that's the case why are you even asking this question. common sense would be just get the exact replacement.

Decided to use the 99 si one instead of buying the correct one, if anyone is wondering this is a picture of how i bent the brake lines going to the master cylinder, it wasnt a very hard thing to do at all.
