Here's a simple question. Anybody here running the 7/8" Wilwood master cylinder with a manual brake setup that doesn't feel a little spongy? I have that same setup and mine is slightly spongy also. I was doing some research on it a few months ago and it seems that it's a fairly common side effect as you reduce the bore size on a master cylinder in a manual setup(regardless of the calipers). As you increase the bore size, you get a harder pedal, but less brake pressure.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there are running this master cylinder and bore size OR have done so in the past that could chime in. Would love to hear from someone who has this exact setup(Wilwood MC, 7/8", manual brakes, 4 disc) and can say they have a hard pedal.
