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

You would have to push it harder; you've significantly increased the piston surface area without increasing the master cylinder piston size. The reason you have more pedal travel is there is more hydraulic fluid in the circuit.

Ozone that's precisely what we're both agreeing it won't be; if you have small brakes with a large master cylinder, it'll be more like an on/off switch than these with a gti master cylinder.

Lol you wont....if you increase the slave cylinder size (caliper) and keep the other end the same, you will push less hard but more travel as you having to move more fluid to move the caliper piston the same ammount...the fact your moving more fluid shows your moving a bigger piston, hence its easier to push...just like bike gearing, change down a gear, move it more , but its easier...
