Hia,

What master cylinder do I need to upgrade a 91 GT brake set up?

Is it the late MK16v Golf one?

cheers

Yep or a Passat 16v one.

do people prefer these? ive heard they can loose the feeling in the brakes and it makes the pedal require lots of extra effort on the drivers behalf

i've read that before gofasterpinch,

Any one ruinning G40 Calliper set-up with the said master cylinder?

I'd like to know before I buy one, what about your set-up Kruper?

I've got the standard master cylinder on mine, I've heard mixed reviews on the 16v one.

Supposedly more power but less feel, though some people swear by them.

thats what i thought, alot of G40 owners have gone back to the normal one i think seen a few for sale recently

I've got a Passat 16v 22mm master cylinder with Audi carriers/calipers running Golf GTI 239mm vented disks with Golf GTI braided hoses.

It's fine.

I ditched the servo, made a new mounting plate and used a master cylinder from a mk2 as I prefer the feel of cars without servos

Think I ll try the Golf GTi Disc's with the standard cylinder to start with, then chnage later if I am not happy.

Cheers

ive got the g40 brakes on mine (same as golf gti 8v i think) with braided hoses and the ate power discs, they are alot better, not necessarily at first but for heavy or long braking are alot better. well worth it.

although the discs eat pads but look cool!
