Yep, but this isn't a MC debate... it's a caliper debate ?

unless we're thinking that the P34's with a Brembo MC would work better than P4's with a Brembo MC ?

I'm 100% convinced fitting a Brembo MC would improve things.... but surely equally on both ?

Oh how blind........its a size thing! if youve got your std m/cylinder that was designed to move enough fluid to actuate you std 2 pot callipers..........then asking it to work with 4 pot ones........and expect an improvement is pushing it to say the least.

Obviously your the educated one (picking me up on my spelling) do the maths!


Ummm...isn't the std master cylinder on a 916 a Brembo and aren't the standard calipers 4-potters? If so, then the std master cylinder should be fine imo. FWIW I have never noticed a deficiency in the std Goldline calipers for road or track use. I would recommend better fluid, better levers (with less slack and wobble in them), pads (Performance Friction), discs (cast-iron floaters) and brake lines for track use though.

Calipers would be the last thing I changed.
