Just letting you know, the master cylinder upgrade definitely makes a difference, but the rear brakes must be adjusted properly to get a good pedal. I adjusted the rears by taking the drum off and winding the adjuster out to suit until i could barely get the drum back on, the result, the pedal is firm again with decent braking. I bled and bled and bled some more, cycled the abs a good few times on wet muddy roads. No real difference until i upgraded the master cylinder and adjusted the rears properly. Before that i was suspecting the booster or abs unit as my pedal was hitting the floor with near to zero brakes, i couldnt get the abs to kick in because there was so little braking power. Much better now, and the ebrake works now too.
