I used a VW Golf (Rabbit) Mk I booster with a MB 280SE master cylinder. Its a 23mm bore straight through. Everything bolted together with no mods, and the brake feel and performance is excellent.

Geo Metro booster
today we modified a Geo Metro booster (small version) and mate it with e30 m3 master cylinder. It wasnt a direct fit since we had to modify the MC housing and the inner shaft of the booster. I know it will be much better than having the Geo MC for sure..Comment

Here's some pics of the Mercedes 280SE master cylinder in the engine bay with the Golf MK I booster.
Plenty of room around the intake :)sigpic

it looks relatively small but I dont know if that will work with the euro s50b32. I got the Geo booster to work with the e30 m3 MC for now. I am still searching for other options though. I think this set up will work fine.. I am all done just have tuck all the wires and clean up the engine bay then comes the bodywork/paint..Comment

The Mercedes-Benz booster seems to be 2" smaller than the e21-2002 booster. I think it is a more acceptable method as it is accept a BMW/M-B MC without modification.

The overall length is a concern as well, as mentioned here (http://r3vlimited.com/board/showpost...9&postcount=64) The Aisin setup is very short.
Compare the end of the MC to the beginning of the plenum inlet.
I wish I could remember what Aisin MC I went with....-Dave

e30 m3 master
The master is a bit long, it doesnt interfere with the CF box but the reservoir might. So I might do a lil bit of plumbing work to raise the reservoir.. I am still working on this swap and I am going perfect it as much as I can..Originally posted by DaveSmed View PostThe overall length is a concern as well, as mentioned here (http://r3vlimited.com/board/showpost...9&postcount=64) The Aisin setup is very short.

Today I ride my M3 with your M/C and the car brake less than my sister's brakeless bike :-?
I run oem pads, discs and calipers at 70% of life.
I can't lock the wheels in gravel and I run the car in tarmac and I almost injuried my quadriceps to obtain the same deceleration of this guy
What's up with this M/C??¿Comment

I tested the Geo Metro booster about 4 years ago and didn't really like it as it offered barely no assist.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

what diameter of master? if pedal effort is too great, you need a smaller diam master.Originally posted by Taper View Post
I have tried most of the asians and found that none work due to volume. the asian masters are 5mm shorter in travel distance. so, if get the diameter right, the pedal will feel like a stock m3. unfortunately you run the risk of bottoming out the master. see page 6 for the comparisons of masters.
stock m3 master has roughly 35mm of travel.
asian masters have roughly 30mm of travel.
i could get the asians to work "ok" on the street. but with track pads, the masters either did not pump enough volume or the pedal was way too stiff.
cheers, jason
