your car had abs so it should already have a 1" master with the booster that matches. No need for a upgrade, its already itr sized.

I'm not 100 on the lines as some master cylinders have ports in different places, they can be easily bent though and all the other lines should be fine. Stainless lines are good but if you meen running all stainless flex lines, I'm not a fan of that.

stainless lines only improve pedal feel. they don't improve stopping distance. now don't get me wrong I have them on my car and love the pedal feel but that is the only thing you are changing. braking distance won't change at all. also know that a car won't stop beyond what the tires will hold before losing traction. make sure you invest is a good set of tires otherwise all the brakes in the world won't help you stop any faster.

I am not an expert on this, but believe that the MC is the same for LS and GSR in '94-'97, and that is 15/16. I use this set up with NSX front and RSX rear and it work fine 15/16, and or 1". I upgraded to 1" MC, which is only aftermarket for my 95 and noticed little difference. I waited until mine needed to be replaced; it worked fine at 15/16. The brake piston size is such that the one in the stock caliper is larger area/volume than the two in the NSX. The 2 pistons and larger caliper, bracket, and rotor allow for a larger pad and the 2 pistons spread the load, instead of one in the center. The aftermarket 1" MC fits the booster from the 94-96 with the slanted or diagonal mount at the booster and the booster does not care whether 15/16" or 1" as long as the mount is right. Look here

That is the round reservoir '94-'97 with diagonal mount and rectangular reservoir and straight mount '98+. I think that is all correct, but I am sure that someone will correct it if not.
