whats a good servo/master cylinder upgrade...?

Post by pete69zx »

Since i have changed my front barkes to G40 spec, also running stainless steel braided front hoses... i still find the pedal feel to be somewhat s**t... what can be done to improve this??

What cars mastercylinder is a good upgrade for the Polo?

Should i also think about changing the servo aswell, if so... what cars servo is a good choice to use?

You can upgrade the servo if you want, but thats an area, I dont know too much on. You can, however fit a 22mm Passat 16V master cylinder to the Polo to reduce pedal travel. Beware though, as this can take away a lot of feel through the pedal.

I think it's not really an option upgrading the servo as there's barely any room even for the standard one..

Anything is possible if you're prepared to put enough cash in that direction, but due to the lack of space you'll need a remote servo, and these aren't cheap.

A Golf 16v/Passat 22mm master cylinder isn't too difficult to fit apparently, but people debate how much of an upgrade these actually are. More force, less feel apparently? I will probably be getting one though at some point.
