Hello Todd,

A few things:
1) a smaller master cylinder will give you better
mechanical advantage (as in more power, but squishier
feel)

2) I know of people running larger pistoned calipers
(both front and rear) with the stock MC and are very
happy with the feel and performance.

3) The small car setup actually has less piston volume
at the wheels (the total working piston area) than a
late model van, negating any need for a MC change.

4) There is a huge thread about brake upgrades on
thesamba:
