Default Recommended master cylinder for my race setup.

Hi Every one.

I am currently running AP 4 Piston front brakes and also running 4 pistons in the rear. Car stops very strong but the pedal feels like crap as I am still using stock EF crx booster and master.

Any recommendation I what would significantly improve the pedal feel?

I am currently leaning towards the Chase Bays Brake Booster Eliminator w/ Dual Outlet Master Cylinder.

Would like to hear other peoples opinions.
Thanks!

15/16th cylinder wont cut it. its the same as our uk spec VT's come with on 262mm front calipers and 242 rears.

you need a 1 inch cylinder form an integra type R or you can also here in the uk find them on MB civic vti's (come with a b18c4 dohc vtec engine) tend to go for the £40-80 gbp mark on ebay including the larger brake booster (its a different fit form the stock vt and 16v non vtec boosters). im running one on mine and they are miles better than a 15/16th on multi pot and larger brakes.

Cheers

The rear, we Cnc custom brackets. For the front it was an eg6 brake kit. I had to use eg6/Ek4 knuckles to make them work

I run an 11" wilwood 4 piston kit up front and integra rear discs with an EX master cylinder, stock Si booster, and a 4040 prop valve. My brakes feel great and the car stops even better than great.
