Default master cylinder question

i know this has been asked about a trillion times, but what do you prefer?

i have an autozone special right now and i am not having too much luck out of them, they seem to not want to seal very good, giving me a soft pedal unless i stab the brakes, then they still arent what they should be.

is the extra 50-75 bux worth it to get a new cylinder?

thanks guys

my autozone special is in perfect working order ( :smash: on wood).

I think it has a lifetime warranty, you can try taking it back for a replacement...tell them the seals are bad.

Take it back and get a new one, until they give you a good one. Make sure you are bleeding both brakes AND master cylinder...bench bleed master before putting in on. Good luck. :cheers:
