    XD vs XF vs XG Brakes

Are the EB/ED Boosters 3 studs or 4? If 3 it was probably just swapped with one of those before we originally bought it

    I think it was an E-Series option that they carried over, I'll get my workshop manual and take a snap when I get a chance, but it's got something to do with the pads they used, this then had the Dual Diaphragm Booster with the XF Style Master

    Thanks for the input guys, I'm currently in the process of putting the XF gear back on Ahh ok, I think it was only part of the brake upgrade option on the XGs then? Not entirely sure Thanks again guys!

    I'm pretty sure it was only the XG XRs and the XGs with the brake upgrade that ran the spacer and later master, and I think some EB/ED V8s
  6. Hi Guys, Im currently in the process of upgrading my brakes on the XD to a 300mm Hoppers combo and just have a few questions when it comes to the Booster/Master Cylinder combination. I am yet to put the bigger brakes on, however want to achieve optimum Booster/Master combo before i make the swap. Currently i am running the smaller XF single diaphragm booster with a new XF master, this feels pretty good, the car pulls up well but ive found the pedal has quite a bit of travel before the brakes really bite, this isnt an issue as i am used to it and I'd assume standard with a power assisted car. After doing some reading and now acquiring the big brake kit I've been advised against using the XF Booster as it produces the least amount of 'boost'. Would it be better to go back to an XD Booster/Master Combo? Or would it be better sourcing an XG XR Booster with the spacer plate and the later style master (XF Style)? Im guessing anything twin diaphragm (XD/XE/XG) would be better than what i have? Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks Bill
