If the "upgrade" is based on the rear brake drums to disc conversion then I don't necessarily believe it's an "upgrade" switching to disc brakes. I switched mine because I don't like drums and looks nasty on the rear however if you are talking performance vs aesthetics then the drums are quite high up there on the performance front. Seen cars with huge BHP and still running drums on rear with upgraded front calipers because the drums are that good if not better for stopping power.
What benefit are you getting from the corrado pedal box?

Also I'm kinda curious about this now……I would think the larger servo would provide more assistance when braking and also vacuum assist etc but surely the larger master cylinder is the big ticket for the bigger brake upgrade?

Thanks why VW did not move them over when selling cars to a UK market.

A lot of work this modification, using the original peddle box has allowed the location for the clutch cylinder as well (I'm using a 6speed). All parts now back from powder coating looking nice.
