Hi, ive recently upgraded from 256s to 288s.
But there doesnt seem to be any noticable difference. There all bled properly.
Is there a bigger master cylinder thats a direct fit from another car??

Thanks

256 - 1.6? or 256 2.0?

there should be a very noticable difference if you are coming from 1.6 brakes

As said there should be a noticable improvement, caliper or slider's siezed or something like that. I went from 2.0s to v6s and the difference was massive.

Well there's definetely a problem if they're not better than 256's. Assuming you're comparing standard to standard.
