brake pressure is

pressure in lbs applied to the pedal * pedal ratio / area of master cylinder size

Quote:
Line pressure can only be increased by either increasing the mechanical pedal ratio or by decreasing the master cylinder diameter. In either case the pedal travel will be increased.

I wanna say the 96-97 or 98s (ITR's) have 15/16's also, but the 99+ have 1".

Chepest would be the 7/8 MC from a 92-95 Civic EX it works with the 13/16 booster. If you already have that get SS lines and a 15/16 & booster from a 90 prelude or get your line reflared for the 1 inch MC & booster.
