Default Size of Brake Booster

Is there a difference in size/pedal feel between a 99 dx bb and a 00 Si bb? Gonna do an entire brake swap this weekend and was wondering if it is worth changing the brake booster.

13/16ths for the DX and 15/16ths for the SI and 1" for the ITR if you wanna know. These are the master cylinder specs.

booster is for pedal feel. if u are going to do a brake swap just do the whole thing imo.

lets hope so. to my understanding it does. the ITR mc bolts up to the SI booster with bent and flared lines of course. if not i still have the si mc.

Sorry about my original post, guess I didn't read correctly. I know the Integra booster is larger, but you'll need the integra booster as well. That's a sure fire way to get a bigger booster.

They should have the vacuum ratings stamped into the side like so:



From what little info i've gathered about this, the 290V boosters offer increased braking pressure over the others.

Bottom of the picture says JDM ITR Brake Booster, but I'd be willing to bet its from a 97+. I have the brakes off of the 96, and they are almost identical to GSR's (as far as caliper and rotors).
