which master cylinder?
I was planning to use 2 master cyl. one for the front and one for rears with a balance bar.
The other idea is to the MC from a car that feed fronts and rear and maybe add a valve for to decrease pressure at the rears (disks all around).
Which way would be better?
Thanks

Hi there,
I've faced this dilema before, it really depends on the diameter of your calipers pots, and if you are running the same calipers all round, or
smaller at the back.
If you are using a single M/C you need to make sure it has a large enough bore to supply all 4 calipers with enough fluid, if the calipers are being
used in the same format as they were in the donor car, then an in line valve should give enough adjustment.
If you are using dual M/C's you can get a high level of adjustability from a bias bar, but for fine, in cockpit adjustment a valve does help as
well.
Also if you are running rear calipers that are large you may even need the valve as well as the bar to take the pressure down.
Really does depend on the calipers you are using.

.....and not forgeting to take the pedal ratio into account.

With a bias bar you can run a larger bore master cylinder on the rear circuit.
For road use provided the rear calipers are not grossly oversized a Fiat valve is probably the best bet leave balance bars for circuit racing.
