Thumbs up crx brake upgrade

this isn't a cry for help but instead a little bit of info that I picked up from another website and what I did and what I think about it now:

I swapped a 87 integra brake master cylinder in place of my 91 Si. the fluid holding capability is increased and the cylinder itself is larger so that it can push more fluid. What does this all boil down to? You don't have to push the brake as hard to get the same about amount of braking power. You figure if you push more fluid through the same size tube, the the braking time will be less.

I haven't fully tested it out, but I know this much- the braking on the car feels a lot better now. I cleaned out all the calipers and put in new fluid (castrol) and it feels like the car is solidly braking, as opposed to just the front end and the ass end will carry along when it wants. I recommend this to anybody that would like more stopping power- the total cost from Bap Geon was only about $120 for a new cylinder.


Check it out!

after 2 days of driving around, most on the Navy base but with a few attempts out in town, especially on 264 (lots of stupid drivers to help test brakes) I believe that my Axxess brake pads and the new master cylinder were a wonderful idea and I recommend it to all rexes....
