    I have RA23 struts & Hoppers kit on my AE71 corolla. Both the service from Hoppers Stoppers and the kit itself are top notch. Really simple fitment (even if the steel caliper adapter brackets are a bit heavy) and perfect alignment, I can't complain.

    I have a late model camry 15/16" master, with ST141 disc rear end, and the pedal feel is great, very easy to modulate for threshold braking. I use Lucas pads, which have good bite when cold, and really good resistance to fade, but they are dusty buggers!

    spoonfeeding from the same thread is really weird.

    Reviving an old thread but I have a question for anyone who has fitted this kit to a RA23... Did the fitting of the kit change your front wheel offset requirements?

    I have a kit which I hope to fit in the next few weeks, but I ordered the 5 stud version, so will need new rims I'll need to find rims to suit before the kit is installed (preferably).

    I could always do a trial fit and measure, but I'd prefer not to if I can help it.

    Any suggestions appreciated?

    Cheers
