I am running a stock brake system. The master cylinder is shot. I was originally going to rebuild it, but considering the prices of some aftermarket ones, I am not so sure.
Is there any downside to upgrading to the 19MM model? Has anybody bought one of these? http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/...5.012.02apa.htm Thanks. |

19 installed means more pedal pressure required to stop but less travel. 17mm for the four cylinder is preferred these days. Rebuild kits are nla so no one can rebuild them without a kit, and the euro parts master cylinder had problems so no one stocks them anymore. ATE factory 19mm are the best buy usually to be had new for 195 where the new 17mm are 245 or so.
Bottom line for the money on a four buy a new 17mm. QUOTE(saigon71 @ Dec 28 2009, 06:27 PM)  I am running a stock brake system. The master cylinder is shot.
