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.

I ran the stock front calipers on the rears and 320 calipers on the fronts. Ran a Brass T and a 19mm master cylinder. Brakes felt awesome, did not have weird tendencies and would lock down some sticky 225-50/15 tires reliably.
Now I just did complete new calipers, pads and lines on a local car. After bleeding and adjusting, the brakes stop the car just fine, they still feel a little mushy compared to other cars I drive, but that is also a factor of power vs. non-power. Pads make a huge difference. But remember this, Brakes don't stop the car. Tires do. Want to stop faster, get stickier tires. |
