A question to the group,

Are there any concerns with changing the brake line sizes?  I thought that
there needed to be a certain amount of fluid flowing to the
calipers/cylinders to get them to work right.  Aren't the lines and
calipers/cylinders pre-engineered as a matched system?

Let me know if I'm "out in left field" on this one.......
