i got a disc brake kit on my mini from a civic, and i now need a mastercylinder resleeved or replaced and was just thinking is there a better master cylinder off another car, i find my self putting my foot through the floor, any other up grades for the brakes, apart from vented discs.

I have honda discs and run a standard mini master with no problems, you should bea able to acheive a rock hard pedal, mine you only have to just touch and it will stop you well.

I'd look elsewhere for your problem, make sure you have the right master, there are two sizes a .70 and .75" bore...i think you want the larger one..

Check everything else, the calipers may need to have a kit put through them, they might not be bled properly, lots of things to look at.

There isn't an easy swap from another car that i know of, i have seen a couple done before though.

No, it's the smaller one you want for Hondas. Although if running a servo, it won't matter. :wink:
