GTI Track Car - Now big turbo, sidewinder.
Mekaniko:
Very nice build with very good components.
I'm curious for the pedal feel with this calipers, will you keep the original master cilinder?

Thank you mate.
Yes will keep same MC. Pedal feel was great with old brakes. Should be ok with these too.

I've been told the sweet spot is 4 pot calipers on the stock brake master cylinder. If you go beyond that the MC doesn't move enough fluid to move all the pistons, leading to a longer than normal brake pedal. It's at this point when many upgrade to the Audi TTRS MC.

Exactly that mate. Was trying to explain this to someone on Facebook yesterday. I gave up!

Sometimes you just gotta learn from experience. I went 8 pot and the pedal fell almost 2 inches before the brakes made contact with the discs then almost sent me through the windscreen. Lol
Upgraded my MC and all is good!
