A note I've read in the factory workshop manual talks about different diameter
inner holes in the M/C ports.  Seems like that could restricts the fluid flow
rate and maybe cause one side to snatch a bit before the other.  If so, it would
only become noticeable under emergency braking - not sure I'd want to test my
answer in that situation.
