Where are you testing?

this is exactly what i was talking about. I just got home, i'll make a shower and go out to test them. First impression is that i have a vibration in the wheel when i push the brake pedal. I just made 10 km. This night i will do about 200km. I hope that after some serious braking everything will be ok
More impressions later.. :happy2:

First impressions after 100 km: A lot of problems:
1. Excepting the fact that the spigot is not sticking out enough to mount the wheel on and i made a custom piece on CNC machine, like an extension of the spigot.
2. At speeds beyond 50 km/h if i press the brake pedal the car starts to vibrate very powerfull, it is like the disc was deformed. The steering wheel vibrates very strong, the car vibrates.
3. When i steer left at maximum something is rubbing at my left wheel. When i steer right at maximum there is no rubbing. I sounds like metal on metal :scared:
4. The brake pedal feedback is very low, i have to push it very well for the brake to actionate
What i think that is the reasons are:
1. The vibrations could be from the custom piece. In the brake kit it was included a set of bolts longer than the normal ones. Could it be that there are strong enough to hold the wheel without the custom piece to be fitted? Could the bolts be forged?
2. A fabrication fault of the brake discs
I attached some pictures of the spigot with the OEM disc mounted, a picture of the spigot with the VWR disc, 2 picture with the custom made piece

TEFF, with all those problems you list, your best bet is to go back to VWR and see what they can do. They'll want to solve these problems and are always very helpful in my experience.
