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 am running a 19MM Master cylinder on my car with 320i front and stock rear calipers and am very happy with my brakes. I can lock up all 4 tires no problem. There is a lot of controversy about how effective this setup is. I think Eric's math says the improvement is about 6% with this set up over stock. The one thing I would NOT do is take out the rear proportioning valve and put a "T" fitting in rear. Doing this can cause your rear brakes to lock up sooner than the fronts causing you to spin out. It's very dangerous.
Anyways, I'm not an engineer, but I am very happy with the 320i 19mm setup you are looking at. |
