Yeh, makes sense. I would be looking to run e38 4 pot brembos up front on a 312mm disc with stock brakes on the rear. What would the situation be then...27mm master cylinder?
Also, what's the stock master cylinder. ATM my braking system is ALL 325i stock setup...I think that a combination of RHD e30 with all those pivots and linkages/joints etc. as well as the too small a stock MC leads to an interesting pedal feel. The pedal actually travels a fair bit before it does anything.
Although, having driven brand new VW Golfs, corsas and polos, basically modern hatchbacks i feel that their brakes are MASSIVELY over assisted. I actually felt it very very difficult to make a controlled smooth stop coming upto a roundabout. I've also driven new shaped BMWs, like e90s and e60s and the pedal feel is MUCH MUCH better. The pedal isn't over assisted and i can control and feel it easily. I suppose it boils down to personal preference, but for me, I like to really press the brakes and feel what they're doing, but at the same time have a servo/MC setup.
