swap in a integra master cyl and booster and the pedal will firm right up. :thumbup:

I believe the Si/96-00 EX ones will work too... Just be sure to get a MC and booster that match (i.e. either both ABS or both non-ABS)

:edit: and it will be a little easier if you use the non-ABS booster and MC. The ABS MC requires that you re-bend and flare one of the brake pipes... kinda a PITA.

yup. that'll work fine.

Is it an ABS or non-ABS master cyl?

fabulous... just bolt that fukker in and you'll be set.

:edit: and since you need to flush the fluid anyway, I'd reccomend going with a quality DOT 4 brake fluid as well with this swap. I've managed to cook the brakes a few times in VX w/ teg 4-wheel discs.

meh, I guess you don't really need to... I flushed because I was pretty certain I had gotten some dirt into the lines and I had a full new bottle of fluid anyway h: I'd still recommend the fluid upgrade though
