    Question about s50 master cyl & booster ?!?!

    I am doing a 5 lug swap on my 91 325i with all front susp and brakes from 98 m3 and rear 318ti trailing arms and e36 328 calipers. I have access to a '95 m3 master cylinder and booster.
    Has anyone ever installed it on a e30 ?!?!
    1. If so, should I do only the master cylinder or booster as well??
    2. If so, is there much mods involved if any??
    3. What if I get rid of the booster completely, cons and pros??
    Or should I just get an e32 master and be done with it??

    Appreciate your feedback in advance!!
    Thx, Nick.


    I guess, looking for the IX booster, anybody??

      you can also try posting this in the 5 lug section.

      1. as far as i know you can put a e36 MC on an e30 IX booster.
      2. an IX booster is a direct bolt on. with the e36 booster you will more than likely need to make some modifications, but dont quote me on that.
      3. i dont think you wanna get rid of the booster cause braking will become a complete bitch cause it wont be assisted at all, which means you have to actually dig into the brake pedal to stop.

      good luck,

          If you go no booster you will need to find a different master cylinder. I think massive lee sells a kit. It will take a bit more pedal pressure but will stop just as well.

            The E36 M3 MC bolts right onto the ix booster, I run it in my car.

              So, how is IX booster, is it bolt on as well, any mods?? since you already've done it... how is your braking overall?!?
              thx, in advance

                  Is your car 24v swapped? If not just use stock booster and e30M3 master. Sorry if you mentioned it was swapped, it's been a rough night.

                    What is your brake setup and what diameter is the e36 master? Are e36M and non-m the same?
