What options do i have for a upgrading my brake master cylinder for my Impreza Classic Turbo 2000.

I fitted some K-Sports all around and i'm thinking it would be nicely suited with a better brake master cylinder.

Has anyone upgraded their master cylinder and able to confirm this?

Is the 22B brake master cylinder better and does it fit?

Thanks

I have 325mm discs front and STi Brembos, whatever size they are, on the rear.

Car HAD two pots front and single pot rear.

The brakes are very good and have good feel.

I'd not bother.

I've got 356mm 8 Pot fronts and 330mm 4 pot rears from 294mm 4 pot fronts and 266mm sliding 1 pot rears.

My brakes have been check to see if they are fitted correctly and all is fine including a full bleed.

Pedal has a good bit of travel and isn't as firm as i would like so i'm looking into brake master cylinders, i read a topid this can help with a better pedal.

How many miles since changing them mate as i have many cars through my workshop that have spongy brake feel for around the first couple hundred miles until the new brakes have fully bedded in?

Not to sure, they have been on a couple of months and i've done at least a 300 miles i would say but 200 odd are motorway.

When i replaced my 330mm disks and pads it was advised to do 300 miles before givng them a bit, as with you i did a fair amount of motorway driving so left it till 500 and them gave them a bit. The bite of them got better for the next few hundred miles after that.

I would give it a few more hundred miles and see where your at.

It's not the bite, it's the pedal travel at the top.

afaik turbo 2000 master cylinder is 25mm bore,think the one from a bugeye are bigger at 27mm, could be wrong though only going on my uk 98.
remember reading a thread about it somewhere on here as its considered an upgrade to help reduce the pedal travel,
the end of the master cylinder is stamped with the size,might need a mirror though,worth having a look ?? have you installed a brake stopper to help too ??

update found thread : https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...han-a-wrx.html

Ahhh! I'll need to check that out.

Hmm i wonder what BMS they have on the newages with the Brembo's.

Nope i haven't installed a brake stopper, i would imagine that wouldn't resolve the 2" play on the pedal lol.

My 99 Turbo 2000 has a BMS bore of 1 1/16" which is 26.9875 millimetres.

I'll have to find out what the newage bores are, anyone want to have a look please.

Thanks
