OK, I need people with brake upgrades to let us know what master cylinder they are running with their set up. We need to know what fits, looks better, and works better. Please also take a moument to take the poll.

All stock ones will look exactly the same, no external differences. It's a safe bet to use a "disc/drum" master which is the same on all '90-92 cars. Use that one.

A buddy of mine and I bought LS1 master cylinders and put on our cars. Bolt right up, work fine and look tons better. Just have to redo the lines for em, but that is needed for brake swap anyway.

I was gearing my question more towards what will fit our cars that came on other cars that might work or look better. For instance I would think a C4 vette master would work better and it sure looks better, at least the resevoirs do.

Any chance those LS1 master cylinders are shorter than the stock ones? Any pics?
