Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm planning on converting my car to Boxster calipers front & rear (already have them) and I am wondering if I will need a larger master cylinder. The car has flares with 255s & 245s on 16s and I have a 19 mm MC.

I'm ok with a firm brake pedal and I am thinking of putting a 23 mm MC in, but I wonder if it will be too much.

Is there anyone out there with some first-hand experience?

Thanks,

Jim

yes. we just converted Tom's 911 racecar to boxster brakes front and rear.

we used the 23mm MC and it works great with the brakes! very good pedal feel and prompt and plenty of stoppage ...
