upgraded to a ebc grooved and drilled front brake set up with some valver calipers.
Because my engine is only a baby (1.2), do i need to upgrade my master cylinder so it will be more 'man enough' for the job?

was thinking of possibly robbing a new cylinder from a Gsi? or maybe even something bigger?

any help would be great

cheers, steve

all the master cylinders on the corsa b are the same except ones with ABS iirc. Also its supposed to be a bastard to change, i went for a set of braided brake lines and its fine.

be careful with the EBC grooved and drilled discs, known to fracture quite easily...
