That's a weird problem. I had never heard of there being different size calipers before. I can see why it took you so long to troubleshoot this one.

Karl, I had that issue several years ago when I changed out master cylinders. Turned out I didn't have enough "slack" in the master cylinder rods and several laps into my first session on the track, my brakes, front ones primarily, locked up, hence the anchor effect. Simple fix to give the fluid more room to expand.
