so couple days ago  
my paddle suddenly dropped lower while i was braking  
and found out my MC is slowly dying(leaking)  
now my question is  
is it worth it to upgrade the MC, or a S13 MC is gd enough?  
if i’m going to upgrade the MC, wat choice do i have???

if u have z32 brakes or skyline brakes, then yes it is worth upgrading. If u are on stock brakes it is not worth upgrading. There will be no improvements and i think ur brakes will lock quicker
