SV: Rear disc conversion a big success

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

8V from 84 seems to sometimes have the 22mm MC to, and only
changing that makes less leg effort for same braking compared to
my earlier standard MC. My car was converted to discs in back
earlier so with drums in back you should get less effort for
same braking. 
If you like have the brakes are in newer Golfs or Audis, this is
the way to go for you. Now I only have to touch my pedal to
start stopping fast. If your used to push hard some tires will
smoke...

Something I've always wondered about this...
Will upgrading to the 16v MC without changing anything else make
your pedal feel
better? Is this legal for DSP?
    Thanks,
