What master cylinder on mk3 escort
Recently upgraded my mk3 brakes to s2 up front and noticed the brake pedal had a bit more travel. Then this friday upgraded to 4x4 cos callipers and 2wd discs and now the pedal is even worse. Never had this problem on the s2 when I did it though. Is it a case that the master cylinder bore is to small and needs a larger one to push the larger calliper piston? I was told that the latest mk4 master cylinder has the biggest cylinder is this true?

I have 2wd Cossie rear brakes, AP CP6600 4 pot calipers and 315mm front brakes on a standard 22 cylinder and black servo. All were new 2 years ago.
My car has phenominal brakes that are scary! I do not have the bottle to brake late enough to use them to their full effect. I end up braking then lifting off and coasting to the corner.
