Did you guys swap to a 4th gen master or no problems with the stock master running dual piston caliper up front? How was pedal travel with your set up

Volume is no issue at all. C5/C6 calipers have a smaller piston area than stock. Pedal travel should be shorter than stock. See my chart below.

Would it be possible to get a comparison of the drum rear added to this?
