I'm considering upgrading my master cylinder. I have installed the bigger BMW 320 Front Calipers and have Stock Calipers on the rear. I see from other threads that the 19mm master cylinder is a common upgrade, but what about 23mm. Automotion sells a 23mm as an upgrade, but it seem to me that it may to much for my application.

The fluid volume is a key element as is the pad area in contact with your rotors. I have a 23mm cylinder because I have big brakes on the front and Carrera calipers on the rear and even the 19mm cylinder had too much pedal travel.
I'm very happy with my current pedal resistance and am close to installing big aluminum brakes on the rear as well. That'll place my pedal a bit closer to the floor, but actually in a better position for heel-n-toe braking/shifting. A 19mm cylinder was on the car when I bought it with big brakes already on the front and stock 4-cylinder rear calipers. It was excellent. |
