944 Brake Booster Confirmation

[KIRIEIW]

so this newer style ate 944 booster with the flat back vs the one with the slight bump
does this write up still apply?

as far as putting the clevis in the same spot as the e30 one?
no change because of the flat back?

Yup still applies, thread the rod for the clevis and you'll be fine.

Yup the X3 booster is a damn good fit. Actually I plan to swap out this 944 booster on my S50 convertible for another X3 booster when the time comes. If your patient, you can wait till I test drive the car with the booster installed and give a real honest opinion haha. I'll take a few better pics of the booster installed and post them on my thread. You still need to thread the rod, ect. (same amount of work to fit the e83 X3 booster as a 944 booster).
