    Brake Master Cylinder & 4 pots

    Has anyone changed their master cylinder to compensate for the increase in pedal travel when using 4 pots?

    Has it made any noticeable improvement or impairment to how the car stops?

    Is it worth doing?

    iirc they are 20mm and others are 22mm.

    rally cars ran a single master cylinder either 25mm iirc on four pots and 26mm on larger tarmac four pots..
