Default brake master cylinder & booster??

I was wondering what would be the best bolt on brake master cylinder and booster combo be? I have an '88 civic hatch DX with '90 DA front brake set up and DA rear disk, i am also running the RS 40/40 valve. I really don't want to modify my brake lines, so I am looking for the BEST direct bolt on. thanks...

EX sedan MC. Bolts right up to your stock booster.

Bingo. '90-91 Civic EX 4dr master cylinder. It's the correct diameter (15/16") for the 17CL14VN/7CLP13S caliper combo, and it bolts up directly to the stock booster and stock lines with no modifications necessary.

You have to bend the lines a bit to use the LX-i master cylinder. It's not particularly difficult or anything, but it does introduce a point where someone could screw something up with heavy consequences.

Yeah - with the EX you don't have to replace your booster and don't have to modify lines.
