the teg master cylinder will go into your stock booster, if you cant find an S2k one. I forget which is which, but one of them bolts right up, the other one requires bending lines.

 

DON"T over power your stock brakes by swapping in a massive MC. if you are running stock dx brakes, swap in another DX mc 13/16" OR you could pick up an EX mc which is 7/8". A 1" mc will push too much fluid. what this means is you have less pedal travel control with your brakes. the big mc will basically make it more "ON/OFF" feeling. Oversized will lose your pedal swing, undersized will not allow you to push enough fluid. MC's should be sized properly and upgraded accordingly along with your brakes. BTW i have a spare 13/16" dx MC and booster sitting on my parts shelf if you want something cheap.

agreed. The only reason I am going with the S2K master is because I am going 11.1 in the front and 10.2 in the back. If you are stock DX than use the proper MC to maintain the best braking performance.

 

I wouldn't recomend this upgrade if you are still runing drums in the back. With my SI brakes i still get the pedal feel i want. BTW you can get s2000 masters and boosters for 35 plus shipping on Ebay.

 

yup, I am clicking buy it now right now h:

 

Thanks for the advise... How much should a S2K's or DC5's MC cost (USED)? I am planning to change the rear brake drums to disc.

 

not sure on the typical used price (you may want to also look into the cost of a refurb, another good alternative) but i still think a 1" is going to be too big for your setup even if you swap rear disc brakes on. think about the size of the stock brakes on an s2k or dc5 and compare them to the size of your's. if they aren't close, then its the wrong mc. don't just think about rotor size, i'm talking about caliper piston size.

Just trying to point you in the right direction

thanks bro.... really good info. makes a lot of sense and now i'll be able to buy the correct mc once i change the rear disc brakes and calipers. I know that the front disc brakes on my eg6 are Civic Ex's. The rear M planning to replace the drums with some integras.... Thanks again... u guys going to save me $ and time....

 

type r usally run 100 bucks or more with out the booster and just look on ebay and you can find the the s2k ones like i mentioned for 50 shipped.

 

:thumbup: goodluck on the swap bro. i personally run ITR front brakes, GSR rear disks and a 1" gsr mc and booster. i looove the setup it's fantatsic compared to my stock setup. and the ITR calipers are massive! there's a bunch of pics on my site if it helps you out at all
