Will I need an uprated master cylinder if.....

Postby wyll_2k on Fri Mar 18, 2005 9:51 pm

...I'm changing me std 1.1 front brakes to Sapph cossie ones? As thats what i'll be doing soon.

The rear are still std drums, but I may change the rears to st170 discs n calipers (is it a good idea to?).

At the moment the eninge is still a 1.1, but i will eventually get a 2litre in there, and i guess if i have to do the rears then i will - but are there other alternatives for the rears? Cheers 4 info

You won't "need" an uprated master cylinder for just fronts, but front and backs yes....

Also, you don't "need" rear discs with a 2.0L, hardly any braking is done at the rear, so save your pennies for elsewhere :wink:

Yep, upgraded fronts no problem you will just get more travel on the pedal

Upgraded fronts and rears equals almost total pedal travel without full brakes and has to be upgraded
