Default help choosing brake setup

Hi all im in the process of putting my s2 together i quite fancy the compbrake twin master cylinder setup for the adjustability but unsure if its a good choice for the road. i will be going for a rear disc setup and 300mm discs on the front with caymen s calipers as i got these for free.I will be binning the abs and want to know my options if keeping the servo setup ie can i bin the rear compesators and have some bias valves without having brake pipes inside the car ive heard of people putting them inline how is this done? and what parts are used? any help or pics would be great.P.s is anyone using the compbrake setup on the road and what is it like?

you can fit the inline between the servo and the rear brakes, i used mondeo ones but i think people use the ka ones. you may not need them if you use the compbrake setup. think muz on here is using that setup, try asking him?


i'm replacing the lot for a pedalbox setup but its not a everyday car so i'm not fussed
