you don't have to bend it, you just have to bend some of the brake lines lol.

one that bolts up is the 91 civic 15/16", and the integra rs, non abs ones will work as well and they will help a lot with brake pedal feel

Why do you want a bigger MC? Are you changing your brakes?



If you think it'll somehow improve your braking, it won't. Pedal feel will change but if you're using too large of an MC all you'll get is very very touchy brakes.

well, in a few months i'm going to be converting to 4 wheel disk, and i do want a lil better pedal feel. plus i know when i do the conversion it will make a big difference having the bigger mc on there.

why dont you just do it all at once when you get the rear discs. there's no point in bleeding the brakes twice just to upgrade the bigger MC that wont do anything for you without the upgrades.
