   right i bought a set of what i though where xsi brakes off an xsi in the scrappy a while back, and to be fair i thought they were massive, anyway got them home measured the disks and there 283 mm so must have come off a gti-6 or poss 206 gti. i really only wanted the xsi ones as any bigger would be overkill for me,
   
   any way the real question, what master cyilinder to run?? the brakes will be going on my furio, and ive heard that there will be alot of travel in the brake pedal before any breaking decides to happen. so ideas guys!
   
   is a 306 - gti - 6 one a bold on item??

   you can run them on standard mc and adjust the servo to lift the pedal mate
   
   however a bigger mc is a good way to improve the feel on the system once upgraded
   
   the gti-6 iirc runs abs but you can get a 406 one the same size (23.8mm) with 4 ports for non abs setup

   i have GTi - 6 brakes on front of my wesite, and have left the standard mc on it, and i think its fine, pedal goes down a little more before braking not much though,
   
   and as for abs,
   
   i was trying my brakes out, and slammed on it the wet, and it didn't even skid and i dont have abs
   
   and if you don't want it, just cut the sensor cable off at the pad, but don't take it out, as your pads will wobble alittle
