    E30 boosterless brake setup options

    Finally had a chance to sit down and layout all the different E30 specific boosterless brake setup options currently available, as well as some history and facts.

    Boosterless brake bracket for the BMW E30: dual master cylinder booster-delete setup for swap and race cars.


    Hopefully this helps some people out who are doing swaps.

    Hmm. Nice.

    I measured stock pedal force on my 2/87 eta at less than 20 lbs for a normal hard,
    but not ABS, stop.
    I've always thought it was overboosted, but I was shocked to see it so low.
    The 11/94 E36 was effectively the same. For a similar stop, the 2002 took about 60.
    It's always been my benchmark for good, boosted brakes.

    Neither the 1968 Datsun 1600 nor 1965 Volvo 122 have boosters. And have higher
    pressures, and better feel.

    now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
