Upgrading a MY97 WRX with MY2003 calipers
I'm upgradign to 4 pot fronts, and 2 pot rears from a MY2003 Impreza to my MY97 WRX. Do I need to replace the master brake cylinder? Because I have to depress the pedal further down then usual.

To settle this for once and all I need to know the diameter of the brake cylinder.
My car had volvo 4 pots for the front calipers, which worked perfectly. So I have no idea what was standard on my car.

Yes there is a larger master cylinder you can fit , but in all the conversions we have done on Impreza's , we have never found we needed to change them.
If the master cylinder is working properly , its well capable of running with the 4 pot front and 2 pot rears.
The only time we have seen problems is when the master cylinder is on its way out , and then it will give you a long spongy peddle , or if the calipers have been fitted on the wrong side and you get trapped air in the calipers.
