Brake Booster - S38

Hi there,

There seem to be a multitude of brake boosters used in these conversions.

I have an S38 E30 with a citroen saxo brake booster, and brake performance isn't nowhere near good enough.

Can we blame the brake booster? I've been told that there is very little difference between all of them.

I must add that the whole brake system requires refurbishment: rebuild, oil, pads and maybe discs.
Should I search for an 325ix BB to help with braking?

Best Regards,
Paulo

I am sorry this isn't the right forum, but any input would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to sort my brake system, hopefully getting something along the lines os a WMS front kit.

Thanks,
Paulo

My brother used a golf servo but that had e30 m3 brakes so brake performance may have been slightly improved over a stock 325i setup.

Servo only provides assistance if you have crap bakes they servo only makes them easier to press
