Leaking master cylinder -- best replacement?
My '87 4Runner has a leaking master brake cylinder (pictured) and the plan is to replace it. The question is: with what?
This truck has never had what I'd call great braking, and I'm wondering if there's a master cylinder choice that'd be an improvement from what it is.
Vehicle is largely stock, but with Cooper At3 30x9.5R15 tires.
Recommendations?

I just replaced mine but it was internally shot and leaking significantly. I just went back with a new oem style cardone unit off ebay. It's amazing how much it improved the braking. Everything in the brake system has now been replaced except one caliper and the lspv.
