Is it their brand, or one they sell. Need more info.

Go with Mazda OEM, Bendix, or my favorite, Beck/Arnley.

Dont buy reman or rebuilt master Cyl. Always go new with that part.

Tokico makes great new replacements.

Where do you get those from? I bought a reman master cylinder and my brakes have always been spongy no matter how much I bleed the system. Mech says I should replace it.

Did you check the rod length from the booster when you got the new MC? I have heard that as a problem before.

No I don't know anything about that. Wouldn't the rod be in a standard position when the brakes are not depressed?

The main problem would come from the position of the rod when engaged. It might have to do mainly when getting a new booster but I could see it being something to look at when getting a new master. The Chilton says to check the booster's rod length vs. the master recessed cup. There is only supposed to be a small amount of space between the booster’s rod end and the bottom of the master’s cup.
