Was thinking do you reckon I may need to change master cylinder for something suitable
At the moment I'm running brembo 4 pots front and rear and brake pedal is fine
But don't know that if I fit the six pots on if they'll be too much travel

to be honest id be very suprised if the standard master cyclinder is man enough, but others on here will be able to prove otherwise i am sure

I binned my Brembo Renault Megane 4 pots on the front after i came across some APS, i matched them with 330mm J Hook discs and Carbotech pads, they are simply sensational

If you have the calipers or acdess to themmyou can measure the diameter of the pistons and do the maths. If the piston area isn't that different you're likely ok.

That said, from my limited experience of Porsche calipers they are likely to be a good bit bigger in terms of piston surface area.
