master cylinder for stock front disc + empi rear discs

hello people,

i was going to upgrade to 944 brakes all around, but the guy i was buying the parts off has let me down so ill be sticking to what i have for the moment.

i have stock vw front discs/calipers with the empi rear disc kit. its a single slider caliper.

i fitted a new duel circuit vw master cylinder but i couldnt get a good pedal. i think the master cylinder may have been faulty. the pedal was firm but went all the way to the bulkhead. (with rear flexis blocked off the pedal felt great)

i fitted my mates 944 master cylinder (which he will need back soon) with the 19mm to the rear calipers and the bigger bore to the front calipers.

now the pedal is really firm, but i have to press the pedal really hard to get the brakes 2 stop quickly. my old stock front caliper/rear drum setup with stock master cylinder worked better

should i get another vw master cylinder or try something else?

the others i have considered are: audi 80/audi 100/csp upgraded one (around 20mm bore i belive)/stick with 944

what do you suggest?

cheers guys
mabbo
