[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 16339109, member: 38517"] The ratio of master cylinder to slave cylinder (the Caliper pistons) has a direct impact on pedal feel, lenght of travel and sensitivity. It’s equivalent to leverage. If you increase the lever (by making the Caliper area larger and keeping MC the same) your stroke becomes longer (pedal travel distance) but your work is less. The main issue is running out of pedal travel by hitting the firewall before you’ve activated the brakes to max potential. I don’t think that’s the case here. It’s not a significant increase in Caliper surface area, but it is an increase so it’s something to be mindful of. Question I posed earlier was what is available in terms of oem hydroboost MCs to select from? I can’t really help much there as I’m running vacuum booster brakes. But I calculated out I only needed to go 1/16” larger in MC bore with the ATS brembos and 43mm taurus rear calipers. That’s not a huge difference in MC bore size [/QUOTE]
