I heard that you can swap in the brake master cylinder from a mustang (not certain what year). I was wondering if anyone had also heard of this. Apparently it gives you "tons more braking pressure"....who knows how true that is lol.

 

I've never heard that. A more likely choice would be something Mazda, like apparently the 1" diameter 929 MC can bolt to an S5 TII booster.

A larger master cylinder will give you a higher, stiffer pedal, but you'll have to press harder to get equal braking when using the same booster.

 

I don't think that would be a good idea. You usually don't want more pressure then what is recommended by Mazda.
You can freeze calipers, bust lines, etc.

If you do that, you will need stronger lines and calipers.

 

In practical terms this would never be a concern, you can only use so much braking pressure before the wheels lock up.

A bigger master cyl actually decreases mechanical advantage, not increases. The point of such would be better control at the expense of having to use more leg power.

 

ford parts on a mazda......id rather burn myself then do that.

 

You do realize that Ford owns 1/3 of Mazda, right?

 

^^^^^and oh how i hate that fact

 

true but i dont wana believe it

 

Well I heard Ford might sell their share on Mazda to make up for their losses. lol

 

^^^^^^^ And become bankrupt in less than 2 years. Mazda is the best thing that has happened to ford since the assembly line.

lol true, but they are getting deperate to save their own big paychecks instead of everyone else
