Wilwood said to go with the 15/16ths bore for my car with C4 brakes but I noticed that the C3 manual master cylinders are 1 inch bore.... I might just said @@#$% Wilwood and go to a plan old master cylinder for the C3. This is not rocket science and not my first build but my first with Wilwood. Thanks for your comments


Yep - the smaller the bore - the more pressure it will make - but the softer the pedal will be....

However -- You also haven't bedded the pads/rotors..... and just pushing on the pedal isn't going to be real world pedal feel.

You can ALWAYS change the master if you don't like it once it's on the road.
