    I'm interested in seeing what you wind up doing for the brake booster.

    Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

      My 1989 e30 s52 Touring... this is Betty

      My 1989 325i vert (sold)...this is Nina

        Non assisted brakes is not an option so I will be using a hydroboost system utilizing the bracket provided in this kit. If I figure out an assisted brake at a later time that does without this braket, then I will remove it. Right now it seems that it is the best solution. I'll provide a review on the kit as a whole when it arrives.

            Definitely sub'd and waiting to see more on this swap! love the suspension finish. What gains do you expect with the above mentioned add-ons?

            Also, what year motor/tranny are you using?

              cai, exhaust, ls6 cam, heads, intake manifold and tune should yield 400hp fairly easily. Drivetrain is a 99' w/ 67k miles.

                      What the hell do people do for brake boosters?!

                        the local LS7 e30M I built a diff for fitted the ford hydroboost unit from the garret tvs kit. it barely clears the front apron but does fit in reasonably clean.

                        the driver side strut tower needs to be scalloped (and re-inforced)

                          I would use the massive boosterless setup, the hydro boost/linkage setup looks like shit and takes up a lot of room.

                            I'm looking into this for a 1JZ swap. the massive boosterless setup still won't work.

                                reverse mount pedals. boosterless with correct master / caliper and 6.25 pedal ratio. had a forward mount (essentially the same) with the s54. perfect pedal feel.
