Brakes very soft... What do i do.

My brakes are very soft, and i'm wondering what i can
do to make them feel like actual brakes. Is replacing
the brake lines my next step, because they look pretty
old.

just stick with the crx cylinder, unless you plan on doing a disc brake swap to the rear any time soon.. then get something more powerful

I do plan on swapping my rear drums in the future.
Do you know which cylinder I should get.

JDM 90-3 integra xsi 15/16" m/c bolts up.....remeber to get the non-alb/abs version....

or

90-1 prelude Si 15/16" also bolts up

90-1 crx si (disc) has 7/8" m/c vs 88-9 si 13/16" so its also an upgrade...
