Brake Master Cylinder Physics
A stock C3 master cylinder is a 1.125" bore. A stock C5 master is a 1" bore. Apparently it's a bolt in swap, and a lot of guys do it, but... Ummm... Isn't that a step back?
I understand the booster provides assist only, and so upgrading the booster really does nothing for braking force effectively.
And with the same pushrod actuation it seems that a C5 master would produce slightly less hydraulic psi per inch.
So, is upgrading braking force really just a matter of better calipers and larger diameter rotors?
