My 2001 Italian Stallion money pit build

So I was reading that a dual master cylinder wouldn't be ideal on the street. Something about only good for maximum force breaking, and light and medium pedal suffers? Does anyone have experience, or knowledge about that?
I have 2001 Miata LS with ABS, I'm thinking of installing the brakes without the prop valve v8 roadsters is sending me, to see where the bias is out of the box. I think I need to install the master cylinder from them, otherwise my pedal would be super hard or soft, or something.

the FAST coolshirt stuff came in... holy moly.
I got the "smaller" system, and it will be tough for an instructor to fit his legs in the passenger seat. I'll have the ice box, and the fire extinguisher in there...
ugh. Why did I get all this track stuff? I haven't even done a track day yet. What a hassle.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting carried away. the only thing i actually NEEDED was the roll bar. and helmet.
I think I'll still install the firesense system, that would be sort of dumb not to.
I'll just wear normal clothes to the track day.
I cant get the proper seat installed because I'd need floor pan modification (hopefully getting that done at Blackbird in the winter) for the 6-point, so no harness or harness bar, no HANS, no heavy suit necessitating the coolshirt, nor FAST cooling system.

The secret to a long-lasting coolsuit is to use block ice. Find a tupperware container that's ~80% of the volume of the cooler and freeze a block of ice in that shape. It should last the entire day.

Thanks for the tips guys, I think I will mount it in the trunk as well, in the same location. Just take the spare out, and strap the icebox in.
