Maybe these are better than the UPC calipers..

Nobody has really left any feedback on how good the kit actually works..Would appreciate someones opinion before i order either a hoppers stoppers kit or a upc kit. The upc kit seems a bit steep when i've seen them go cheaper before. Their capri kit has the same parts and disks are the same size yet it's a few hundred cheaper..

I can't believe they sell Fake brembo covers. I wonder if they melt when you get the brakes ultra hot..

last time i checked the upc kit ran a commodore or generic rotor but redrilled to falcon exclusively for upc. might be a struggle in the future if u ever need to replace bits.

Thanks mate. Whatever kit i buy i think i'll buy a pair of spare rotors for spares.lol. The amount of spares i got is a joke. Been selling off alot of spares lately that i have sitting around.
