Thanks Jim. Looked at some cylinders I have on a shelf and the fronts are bigger. That means everything else being equal I get a bit more braking force on the front end brakes than the ones on the rear axle. Car has never veered when braking except once when a cylinder had leaked and then it grabbed. My coupe with stock brakes tried to do a loop in the rain recently. I have the brakes,( mechanicals,} off the vehicle at the moment. May opt for Hydraulic's on the coupe also. Have to weigh the cost.
