Default which is the best brake master cylinder?

Well it is going out and for sure need a new one. The question is which one is the best to get and what would I need to swap it out. I can not switch to rear discs because of my suspention setup. I also already have the fastbrakes/wilwood 11" setup with slotted/vented rotors and porterfield R4-S pads already on there.

I've been told that the 89 Accord LXI is a direct drop in and is 15/16" where the stock CRX is 7/8"

I have heard that as well. The 90-91 EX is a 15/16 as well and I know it is a direct bolt in. That is what I have in my car.

I think I remember reading something somewhere about swaping over a 91 model prelude master cylinder. It that a 1"? how hard would it be to do? Could you noticably tell the difference before and after the swap?

My m/c on my 90 Crx Dx is a 13/16, I checked. The car came with Sir rear disk already. I was told I need to swap my proportion valve to a all disk car. The all wheel disk one puts it a little more to the rear to balance out. I don't feel I was much help, sorry....

Somebody find out about the 1" m/c, I'm game!!

the 91 prelude mc is 15/16 its a bolt on affair.

ive tried the 4040 prop valve and as far as braking
is concerned i found no difference
with it in or out, compared to the stock 4G prop valve.

What about an 88 LX Accord? I'm about to junk one so that would save me some $$$.
