surely itl be nothing apart from brakes off or brakes fully on, bet thatl take some getting used too haha
Quite the reverse. If you multiply the surface area of one end of a hydraulic circuit, you have to multiply the force applied at the other end by the same number. Hence why if you have a dt and upgrade to gti6 calipers without the master cylinder you have to push the pedal harder and it travels further....
You wouldnt have to push the pedal harder...it would be easier, just more travel...just like a lever, longer you make it easier it is, but more it moves.. smaller master cylinder just means more control, unless its to small in which case its just damn annoying, but certainly wouldnt get harder to push with more pots / bigger caliper pistons....
i dont think how i wrote the original comment makes it clear what i meant, i wasnt talking about having to push the pedal harder, more that with huge calipers and what i presume is still a gti master cylinder that the brake pedal will be more of an on/off switch
