thanks for the replys guys

well, im not 100% sure that the bug caliper has 2x 40mm pistons, im sure i read that online somewhere.

im quite suprised how front biased the brakes are with the stock front vw disc/caliper setup and a empi rear kit. when i couldnt get a firm pedal with my stock duel circuit master cylinder i thought it must be the problem because empi wouldnt sell so many rear disc kits if they havent been designed to work on a near to stock bug... guess i was wrong.

so, to improve the bias, im going to have to improve my rear calipers... again?

i thought the early 944 rear calipers also had 36mm sliding calipers on the back, with big (54mm?) sliding calipers on the front? so the rear 944 caliper and rear empi caliper are v.similar? what if i upgraded my front calipers to something bigger? maybe a 4 piston wilwood or something then keep the 944 master cylinder?

sorry if that goes against what you have just said - im really not all that clued up on brakes or braking systems - hence my posts
