Has anyone bought a package through these guys, specifically one to suit an XD Falcon? Are you happy with it? Did you install yourself? Any info would be much appreciated - or horror stories for that matter!!!!! (hope not)

i havent had any experience with an xd but i get my car serivced there and on my old futura had dba gold and bendix advance pads fitted and that used to pull up really well and ive always had great service and no problems with them.

I bought a front disc package for an XW last year. I would guess that the basic package would be similar. I opted for the slotted rotors and Lucas pads

The guys from Hoppers fitted it and did an excellent job. They even fixed the leaking fuel ine free of charge

I have done some track time at Phillip Island and Sandown with standard brakes and the hoppers package and the difference is phenomenal!!!

how is your brake pedal feel with the displacement of fluid as these calipers are twice the size. im still undecided

shard351

brake pedal feel is good. No extra effort required

did it drop closer to floor before it takes up though and a little spongier.

No spongier. I could use a vacuum tank tho' it can be a bit variable, but this is engine related

Currently I'm running DBA golds and uprated pads for the track , problem is they work great for the first few big stops but quickly fade - even with new pads. This is why I need an all-round package and was hoping someone had fitted them and could tell me about their fade resistance as well as balance- wondering if the 1" booster will be up to the job?
