Default Brake upgrade question.

I just purchased my brake up grade. I got the Fastbrakes civic kit. It comes with 11 inch cross drilled rotors, steel braided lines, EBC Greenstuff pads, and Integra calipers. I was wondering if it was a good idea to replace my master cylinder? Is it really that important. My car is a 92 civic CX. Any comments would help.

Look in your repair manuel on how to test your master brake cylinder, if it tests out okay then keep it. It's a pressure test I believe...

do the upgrade first, if you feel the pedal still not how you liek it after a week or so then think about the upgrade.
bleed them brakes super good too.

MC install, hmmm, it can be a bitch depending on how good your mechanical skills are.

The upgrade was around 500 dollars shipped. I got them on yesterday and they feel great. I haven't really pushed them that hard but they feel much better. They look sick too.
