I have an extra master cylinder from an FD that I was thinking about putting in my FB. I don't know if I trust the stock master cylinder to have enough to squeeze bigger rotors with 4 piston calipers, but maybe I'm wrong.



What do you guys think?

it appears as if you've gotta swap the whole master/booster unit as an assembly.



also i think the fd master and the fb master are the same size, but with the fd booster you can upgrade to the 929 master which is 1", vs 15/16ths

please post when you can confirm (or disprove) that the FD master is the same size as the FB.



can you also post whether or not it bolts right up?
