    Martin had said my similar setup would be ok, same calipers and discs front and rear, one size smaller master cylinder on the front.

    Another vote of confidence for Martin's calcs. Eventually(!) followed his advice properly on my car when I had it and the braking was excellent. For a long time I had it with way too much front brake compared to rear. Was a bit of a mish-mash of bits, but it worked great in the end. Can't recall the numbers I used now but it was what Martin told me to use. You certainly do need a good dose of rear brake capacity.

    Also Chris you have more rubber contact patch on the Rear (Grp4) even with the weight transfer moving to the front
