Not sure if adding that small increase in piston size in the rear would push the brake feel over the edge, but as it is right now I noted no negative side effects of the front caliper install, in fact it was a huge improvement.

Lastly - I have also not done the "coding" for the BMWP brakes...I've had the car on the track a couple of times with no complaints so far so not sure if I will get to that...
So you're running 135i front calipers and 128i rears and obviously happy with the feel and balance.

The 135i rear calipers are 2 piston? I guess that could over tax the m/cylinder.
