Title: multi-piston calipers - master cylinder upgrades....
Post by: ngrainqey on 12 December 2011, 18:12:14

Hello,
I know its a bit of an odd question,
Does anybody know of something GM or otherwise that has a larger capacity master cylinder for use on an omega with 4 pot front and 2 pot rear calipers as alot of the GM stuff uses single pot double acting calipers- even on the corvettes, obviously i'd prefer if it was a straight swap lol otherwise i would just get an evo 5 with front brembos master cylinder
thanks in advance
Alex

probably wouldn't mess with the master cylinder unless you really know what you're doing - it's quite carefully matched to the ABS.

4-pots are no great advantage for any application short of an endurance racer - their main benefit is keeping the fluid cooler for longer.

brake mods must be seen in a "whole-vehicle" way, with the front capability very carefully matched to the rear capability.

I had a devil of a job getting something to match the bigger fronts I put on the evo.
