        • Well your pedal effort will be increased if you don't run a booster. It just might take more effort to stop not necessarily more force but who needs good brakes when you look so good driving lol

            Larger master will make pedal effort harder... Smaller has less effort.

            Pretty rad things going on here Keep it up

            • I'm gonna run the stock MC and see what's good. If it's truly unsafe or something I'll look into a Wilwood or an E30 MC retrofit. Not trying to make this car unsafe to STOP...

              • Why not get the setup from Chasebays?

                  I'm into this booster delete for 15$ at the moment, I like to fabricate stuff with the bros as much as possible, that's what I like to keep this build about - poor fabrication done in my mom's garage spending as little smackers as possible haha

                  • I understand that but brakes are definitely not something you want to cheap out on or put to chance on a car

                      Car has under 1,500 miles on brand new front pads and rotors, the master cylinder is in perfect working order, I'm not too concerned; if brakes come questionable I'll immediately upgrade the master cyl, and bump up to EX front calipers/rotors/pads, and stainless braided lines. It's a 1900lb Civic, I'm not going to jump the gun right away

                      • I understand. If you use the stock master it will require much more force to press the pedal to get the same stopping power. I mean force like bracing yourself on the steering wheel and pulling your body down. In the event that you have to stop immediately, applying that much force is not easy.

                        Using a smaller Wilwood master would be the cheapest and easiest way to go.

                              • If you are removing your HVAC just move your MC under the dash like the mini truck guys do. There is also a thread on vwvortex of a guy doing one in a Rabbit I think. Just an idea.

                                Car is looking crazy, keep it up
