4th gen Master cylinder upgrades? And Big Brakes

you will prob find that if you just change the discs for larger discs that that alone will increase braking efficiency simply because again the question of leaverage, as the disk has a larger diameter the caliper and pads are further away from the centre of the wheel, though this would increase the likelyhood of lock. not sure how large you can go on a lude, i remember seeing someone selling nsx discs and callipers and the max size for the discs were in that thread (resently in the sale threads) though i still think the leaverage idea would be the most cost effective, and more adjustable than a larger mc. if you have a spare pedal box it would be great to fab an adjustable pedal and as the fluid movement remains unchanged and only foot brake pressures would chage it should work fine with the rest of the braking system, it may be possible to just adjust the pedal pivot point rather than moving the mc, if you go the pivot route it would be much simpler to fab as the mc could remain as is if you add the adjustable part to the pedal box rather than the pedal itself, this way the pedal remains hanging in the same place and just the leaverage ratios would change.

Thanks for the info, im going to have a think about it any maybe buy a spare pedal set like you suggested. Im hoping for 330mm brakes, they will just fit under 17" wheels apparently

I really should sell my hi-specs

I have asked you to sell them to me a few times

I know, I know, you still want them?

You need to remind me of the specs again. And come up with a price.

Hi-spec monster 4's 4 pot callipers with 335mm discs, carriers and 4x100/4x114 bells

They mount the normal way pic is of Drivers and passengers side

I'd say that the callipers could do with a refurb and they would need new discs and pads

£200 plus delivery (They are heavy)

Can you get me some pics of what they look like now please. Is the kit complete? Containing the braided hoses and caliper adapter brakets?

no braided hoses but it has everything to bolt them on, I'll dig them out of the garage when it stops raining
