is the GSR master the same size as the ITR??, always heard of peeps using the itr unit, just checking and hopefully it will add to the topic.

brake pressure is

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

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.
