calipers and master cylinders

just wandering what the result would be if you were to get a fireblade master cylinder AND put on sum gsxr600 calipers, would there be even more of an improvement or would it just fling you over the bars everytime u touched the lever? lol

also anyone got any suggestions for the back brake can u do a similar thing ie gsxr caliper and cylinder?

Think it would show you just how shite the standard front suspension really is by overpowering it.

these fork springs might help tho? just not sure if it means 70 quid a pair tho? if so seems cheap for ohlins?

or maybe these:

all depends how much you want to spend really, i bought some rc51 calipers as there half the price of a set of 6 pots and alot lighter, ive also been told they work just aswell. i initially wanted 6 pots basically because they looked the part but after weighing up the pro's the rc51 calipers were the choice for me. whichever 1 you go for though coupled with a master cylinder of an sp/blade etc is going to make a world of difference.
i opted out of buying a better master cylinder though as tbh with the calipers i have now i wouldnt want any more braking capacity, there spot on
