SOMEONE GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE 25mm MASTER CYLENDER!!!!

[nickmp0wer]

well i have heard some very different opinions on this modification, ranging from people that love it, to poeple that say it makes the car stop worse. does anyone who actaully has it care to comment?

i ordered stainless lines but i want to know if i should install this too so i dont have to bleed the brakes twice

[nickmp0wer]

anyone?

[nickmp0wer]

I makes the pedal harder.
You will either like it, or you will not like it. Depending on you preferences.

Its a nice upgrade, but it is not perfect. It is designed for a 4 channel X circuit brake system and thus is a little off on the front-rear bias for our cars, but it still works. Just be careful it doesnt lock up the rears too early on you. I would recomend a good front brake upgrade on the E30 before you install this thing.

I did it plus powerslots & ss lines & like it alot.

yeah i was afraid of that. could a valve be installed to equal it out? would this result in uneven pad wear too?

Mine works 100% here is a link to more on this.

I am sure there are more threads here on this topic.

You can get poportioning valves to adjust the brakes. Any local auto parts store should be able to get them. They are basically a round knob you turn to adjust how much fluid goes where.

but i wonder if that would hurt pad wear if your not stomping on the pedal. I guess i will go ahead and get one then break in the pads and do some stopping tests

I'm with Mystikal, I can't even begin to decipher what that means.

[nickmp0wer]

I meant maybe those things can make the right bias for maximum braking but it might increase the wear on the fronts or rears during normal driving and make one wear more then the other

[AndrewBird]

It isn't any different then how the MC proportions the brakes. It is just inline and adjustable. I would think that the fronts would wear faster, but then again, correct me if I'm wrong, but they do that now.

Do you actually think that brake pads wear evenly now?
