dd is suggesting that instead of willwood/brembo etc - use Nissan, a great idea as they are cheap, cheap to service and cheap to replace pads

i guess you have a 7/8th master so try it, i suspect you will wish to change to a smaller one later, but you may as well try what you have installed already

the problem with the calculators is yes you need to know all your piston diameters, and probably have no idea what force you would like to aim for anyway, so it is easier just to do an install and try it

the bigger the brakes you put on the more leverage (in terms of force) the small master has, it just requires more stroke from a smaller master also. At the end of the day you will have to try it out and see no matter what anyone says on here

id personally recommend trying at least a 13/16 bore master and see how you go from there..

reason being is because i ran an 11/16 master in my ute with a disc/drum combo and found that it required
a tiny bit too much pedal travel for my liking. It didnt bother me a whole lot but the deciding factor to go bigger
next time would be because on one occasion when i ran the front pads really low it ran out of pedal travel and
wouldnt apply enough brake until i replace the pads
