ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Upgrading Master Cylinder/4040 Prop Valve

    Hey guys,

    I was curious about possibly upgrading my master cylinder. I am purchasing a wilwood big brake kit (front and rear) for my car, it has 4 piston calipers, and also a larger rear piston in the caliper.

    Is there a larger master cylinder you would recommend for me? If so from which vehicle?

    And do you recommend buying a new 4040 prop valve, or should the used one be sufficient?

    p.s.: I'm already aware that the majority of the braking is done in the front of our car, I want to have the rear big brake kit as well for appearance and performance.

    From what I've read the ABS M/C has more stopping power than it's sibling.
    MRT
    37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car

    Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

            If the kit is sized appropriately your master cylinder wont need changing. If you insist on upgrading, a 1" BORE M/C for an Accord is normally more than enough. You can get one over the counter from any parts store.
