I'm looking into doing a five lug swap on my 89 Notch and i've got everything i need brakes wise but i was just wondering if i'm going to have to change out the Master Cylinder and Brake booster when i swap?

Most do and some dont. All the ones I have had I kept my stock stuff but you will have better brakes with a different MC

the stock stuff will get you by for now. what brakes are you running on the front?

do you like a firm or soft pedal? the rear brakes will not be fully utilized untill you change master cylinders. upgrading to a 93 cobra or 94/95 booster isnt a bad idea either.
