What are our brake master cylinder replacement options?
If I want to keep it stock, do I have to get OEM (brand is ASIN, right?) ones? Rebuilt or new? Rebuilt it myself or buy it rebuilt? [I can rebuild brake calipers no problem using Toyota OEM rebuild kit-- how much harder is a brake master cylinder? It's seals + spring + pistons, right?
Also, what is the deal with these units on eBay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Brake-Ma ... 7292wt_939 Are the rebuilt Toyota OEM ones, or aftermarket ones-- anyone have experience with such units? Or just stay away from them?
If you wanted to upgrade your brake master cylinder, what are our options? From reading this forum, my understanding is that the ST185 ABS is actually the biggest master cylinder for the GT-Four. Any other Toyota models that fit our cars? What are aftermarket options? What do people with big brake kits run? (Don't tell me you're still on stock master cylinders!)
...I think I'm going to start by replacing/rebuilding my brake master cylinder-- that's my last stand. After that, if there is no improvement in this crappy brake feel and bite of this car, I'm gonna break down and get a BBK...
