master cylinders

[poopypants]

I was wondering, when having two master cylinders if each one had a different bore size would this cause problems or just a whole lot of adjustment from the balance bar? Is it better to have the same bore size or not?

We ran with different size cylinders last year (2/3 and a 3/4)and it made absolutely no difference as far as we could tell.

n reality, it all depends on your weight transfer under braking, and your caliper sizes. Assuming you have 4 identical calipers, then you'd want a slightly smaller M/C for the rear, since the rear brakes will never need as much pressure as the fronts. The ratio of these sizes, you'll have to figure out on your own.

Alternately, if you're running smaller pistons in your rear calipers (or just one rear caliper), you may want to use the same size M/C's for both.

Don't just wonder, do the math!!

You mean smaller front.
As said "do the math".

buy your pizza poopy.

that depends on so many factors.. Your car weight, diameter of piston calipers, disc diameters, pilot weight, pedal lever...
