I am just wondering what the size of the Brake Master Cylinder is on the VIII/IX. I am looking to upgrade my Mirage since I own Evo VIII Brembo's.

I think its a 17mm on my IX.... there is a lot more to a brake system than just the MC... 'upgrade' is a lose term unless you know what you are doing.

17/16" (thats were the 17 on the MC comes in) or 1-1/16"

whaa?? how "sure" are you about that? (I'm not)

Normally on vehicles built with metric units, they put metric units on everything....
For instance, on a lot of Honda's its 22... means 22mm, not 22/16.

Yep I'm sure, the non brembo'd evos come with 1" MCs, which you can tell by the 1 cast into the body, I would postan extract out of the service manual but I dont have them handy anymore.

Anything more than 17/16" MC is getting pretty large and more people the pedal effort would be too much, I'd probably like it though, I like a nice high hard pedal.
