lol I was beginning to think no one cared!

I thought of the mod while doing the rear disc change-over a few weeks ago.
I knew that the ex/si mc/booster would be ok, but I had always wanted more braking feedback through the pedal. I'd heard of others doing the itr mc upgrade but I couldnt find any how-to's or even a review of it. So I just decided to do it and find out.

I really did want a usdm piece so the side mount would be on the left side, but couldnt find one when I wanted it (I wanted it like right now and sohfast said they were out of stock). eBay came through again in a rare piece and it was even backed by the seller being a member I'd seen on H-T...how could it go wrong?
After a 3 days it arrived and I started

The install Id rate at a 5/10 for difficulty only because the booster is a big pain in the ass to get in there, and you have to then bleed the brakes, which is just tedious.

I noticed a LARGE difference in braking between the civic and itr mc/bb's With the itr setup the pedal is a lot firmer and the distance it travels for max power is lessened.

Right now Im running ex fronts and gsr rears. I know the braking would further be upgraded w/ larger front calipers, but Im really not interested in that right now, as its a lot of work...actually its not but Im lazy
