Icon2 Rywire s2000 clutch master cylinder into ek questions

found my oem clutch master leaking and began looking into converting to the s2000 cmc, my questions are:

1. has anyone done this conversion?
2. is it a pain to install and adjust?

i have searched for a few weeks and never found a solid answer i have a 00 dx with a gsr if that helps

I like it, I couldn't tell any difference from the original, except for a cleaner look in the engine bay.

adjustment is required whenever you install a new clutch cylinder whether original or aftermarket, adjusting the clevis on the shaft to the length of the original cylinder, taking out or adding slack no big deal.

I could have swear I only pay $129 for mine directly from rywire, then again at the same I purchased a $900 wire harness and a $400 brake line kit, maybe they gave me a discount.

I pulled it from the site itself when I priced it. Not bad though.

the whole kit from rywire is 175 which is a dollar less then what id pay with a checkered sports spacer, carbon kevlar line from goodridge and oem s2k cmc from my work (i work at honda) so i figured wtf i will just order everything from him but wanted a legit opinion of the kit would it be nice to do instead of the stock one and would it be anymore of a pain to adjust, considering i have never needed to adjust mine or have adjusted before. I plan on the rywire harness depending on if he can set up one for my swap but thats down the road. if anyone has pics feel free to post i would appreciate seeing the rywire setup installed but thanks for the info guys very appreciated

figured i would give you guys a small update, install was pretty simple,and i like how it looks over all, i needed to adjust my pedal a bit and think there is still room for a bit more adjustments but overall i am happy with the upgrade. if anyone needs tips or opinions feel free to pm me very happy with rywire and will definitely order from them again in the future.

Having issues. I have the 96-00 civic pedal set, only needed the brake pedal but what the heck. I have the spacer, brand new s2k cmc.

My issue : there isn't enough thread if I use the spacer. How did you overcome this?

I'm about to clean up some alarm wiring and get back at it. I left puzzled as hell because I remember for my integra I had to space it properly. I cut away some of the insulation, thinking that could be the issue but I'll try again.

Nope, ended up user washers to space it again. I have a feeling its probably because they used shorter studs or something
