Is a 25mm MC from a G60 Corrado an overkill to use on my 75' Passat? Im upgrading my braking system. So far got larger front calipers from a Audi 80 86' model, Brake booster from a Seat Ibiza, In the process of getting rear Mk3 Brake setup with rear proportioning valve. But I got a 25mm MC in my possession. But worried it will be TOO firm and be an overkill?? Would you agree??

No....its not a Piss-sat its a Pass-sat!! -
I had a 22mm one on my old diesel, with basically the same set up you'll end up with (except rear discs) and honestly, I could smash passengers heads into my dash if I wanted to.
I found the biggest limiting factor in brake performance was now tyre quality, road quality and wheel alignment settings.
So yes, perhaps it's overkill. I know the 22mm item will be more than enough. -
Sounds like I'm better off going with a 20mm MC then. I want the braking to be firm, but you described the 22mm as being TOO firm. Ill have to look into it some more.-'75 Passat TS

firmness is more to do with the booster, than the MC. The booster just amplifies (boosts..) the force applied by the pedal, to the MC. MC applies the force to the brakes.
honestly, my car's brakes felt like a mk 3's brakes do, except that the performance was better, cause it was in a lighter car
