i use a factory 1600 recoed master cylinder with my 240k brakes and yeah i
find the pedal feel is very good i can tell what the brakes are doing all
the time i dont like driving with boosted brakes if u want a soft pedal go
buy an excel or a vk commodore haha :) but yeah im happy with the
performance although the 240k brake m/cyl would probaby be advisable if it
is cheap
