oli-pug 6 2 Cars Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) right, my master cylinder exploded on the 205's first test drive in 2 months. i want to replace it quick so i was thinking of getting a 22.2mm 405 one from gsf. they're listed as £46.50 +vat but are they alright from there? how quick do brakeparts.co.uk usually deliver cause its about a tenner cheaper there? also, ive got gti180 brakes... am i best off with the 22.2mm or standard 20.6mm?

Simes 248 2 Cars Posted July 4, 2007 Brake parts deliver quickly. I have GTI180 calipers too. I bought a 405 one and a 205 one brand new...(don't ask) I put the 205 one on and noticed the pedal travel was longer but got quite used to it. The 405 MC sat around and I couldn't be bothered to change it so I sold it a few months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted July 5, 2007 ^ not really - it gives you long travel and soft pedal - basically a brake feel of the newer cars. though some people find it easier to "modulate" the brakes with longer pedal travel... but i know i don't . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
