MAT ED30:
Well they are on  :jumpmove: so this will be an on going review  :driver:

This is the all new VWR/Caparo brakes yes the guys that make this  :evilgrin:
http://www.caparo-t1.com/
VWR & Caparo have teamed up to make a a new set of Brakes for the Mk5 chassis and they borrowed my car for a few days to get all the info they needed for the brakes and this is what they came up with  :evilgrin:






and here is the info from vwr
http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/Golf%205%20Pages/Golf%20Brakes%20Kit.html

and this is the set i am running


and a quick pic of them on the car


i will take some better pics tomorrow as the car is filthy and so are the brakes  :ashamed:
first thoughts are they are stunning  :love: and they use caparo's own dot 4 fluid and they have Ferodo ds2500 pads in them too so i am just bedding them in over the next few days and will add this as we go  :happy2: and just to add that the ones on my car are the first ones to be made and will be changed to the new bells with the vwr logo stamped on them as VWR want to see how i get on with them over the next couple of weeks  :smiley:

Disc and bell 7.04kgs and 4.92kgs for the caliper total 11.96kgs
