Absolutely incorrect.  The 8v MC produces MORE pressure than the
16v.  Additionaly, rear discs do not require a MC swap.  It's the larger
10.1" front calipers that require the added displacement of the 22.5mm 16v
MC.  Incidently, there is one 20mm MC that does have a long enough stroke
to handle the 16v front calipers, 811611019Q found in the '85-'87 Audi
4000S.
