But they also got a much better master cylinder, noticeable improvement in pedal feel/action compared to 987's. I don't think the .2 received the update.

I mean you can also just come up and drive my car to see if the .2 is worth the upgrade.
Equ thinks the master cylinder is a big deal... It's not. The brakes are great. But I'm not someone who needs to have a brake pedal that feels like stepping on a concrete paver Last edited by John V; 10-20-2020 at 07:14 PM. |

I think about it from time to time, it seems cool and people rave about the flexibility of easy chassis tuning but I as of yet have found plenty of other things to spend money on. The car drives really well with PASM in sport setting, I really don't need more performance at the moment.

I can't really fathom what sucks about it. The pedal is firm and predictable, never mushy. I think there was something wrong with your car.

BMW's (at least 3ers) in my experience do have a firmer initial response. |
