after playing with the mondeo setup i dont think its much good. the pedal travels quite alot before stopping but feels solid when the brakes come on. its abit all or nothing braking though. tbh ile be going back to stock setup at some point | |

Apparently a 2.0 (non-abs) Mk3 cavalier 22.2mm master cylinder is a direct replacement.. I've not tried this myself, as anyone had an expeirenec? | |

Why is 5.1 bad? It supersedes Dot 4? | |

standard servo on my 288 lot with braided lines, i definitly agree with Torsa G too. if theres a nice easy way of getting a slightly better pedal then id do it, but if not then id quite happily leave mine as it is. 288 setup, standard servo, braided lines, 5.1 fluid, bled uber good. | |

i dont really see why you need a new servo. ive had 288 on both my corsa and bled up properly they are fine and i dont think there is much travel at all. | |

I want to know this too... I have a 288mm brake kit to install but no nem nc. Really dont know what to do with the rear drums and abs... Probably i will took the abs out, put nem brake lines and test some mcs. Or get one and adjust with a bypass valve. | |

standard master cylinder is rubbish once you have upgraded calipers, its pedal travel city... which mathematically it has to be I lived with it for about a year but have ended up taking drastic measures to solve the problem. | |

im runnig standard servo on 288mm and they stop mint, i bit spongyer than standard brakes, but this works to my advantage as you can feel when its gona lock up easier | |

mondeo 2L 16v mc and servo will fit with small modifications. 25.4mm so should see big gains | |
