What's special about the ITR master cylinder?

If you're just looking for a bigger MC, use the 89 Accord LXi. It bolts right to your CRX booster. Some people claim you have to rebend lines but I didn't and I've done it on two different cars now.

yes it fits... rebending of the lines is required...

I for one, will be using the 15/16 RS non abs mc/booster combo.

so would the 15/16 RS non abs mc/booster combo work better? is it direct bolt on? no pipe bending required?

Here is my opinion: Get a 92-93 GSR master cylinder (and booster) with the rear line that goes in to MC. Take the fitting off of the GSR line (it is larger) and replace your stock fitting with it. This needs to be done by double-flaring the line. You will then have a 1" MC and booster that will make you very happy.

If you want 15/16" MC then get RS,LS,GS. Make sure you get a non-abs proportioning valve from an Integra (4040). The proportioning valve will bolt right up to your EF.

By getting a larger MC, you decrease your mechanical advantage, so it requires greater pedal effort to do the same amount of braking. This gives you increased pedal feel and makes it easier to threshold brake.
