All,
I totally agree with keeping the 17mm MC. I completley rebuilt my system, including rebuilding all 4 calipers, 4 new rotors, new pads, SS brake lines. The system works very well, afterall, German enginnering went into it. Unless you plan to use larger calipers, you do not need a larger MC. The 17mm MC is sized for the stock calipers. If you enlarge the MC without the calipers, your braking performance for a given peddle pressure is immediately worse by 25%, like Leon said. Why give up the mechanical advantage that is designed into the system (press harder for the same amount of braking). People think that because the 19mm MC is used on the 911, that is automatically better. Not true in this case.
Have Fun dude
