VW Racing Big Brake kit product review

xht20:
i also think that it would be, i don't think the structure and rezistance of the bell would be affected. Until i receive further instructions from Sam i won't do anything all by myself.

tony_danza:
Measure how much space you have between the back of the wheel and the caliper and you'll know how much you can skim off the front of the bell... you'll only need a little bit of spigot, just to keep the wheel central whilst mounting.

Don't take it off the side that bolts to the disc, do the wheel side.

There's plenty of metal there too remove and I'm 99% confident it won't affect the integrity. Wait for Sam to say for sure though.

What pads do you have in?
I had the DS3000s and had exactly the same problem with the juddering that your describing,
I ended up putting a leading edge onto the pads (like the top ones in this pic)


Its a thing we do on the pads in the race car to give them more feel and a little less bite in the wet, Matt did mention that the grooves in the disks are at a very aggressive angle, since i have put the chamfer on, the brake wobble has completely gone!

If your running the DS3000 pads make sure you dont let them get glazed tho, they really need to be kept at a high temperature for them to work properly!

Dont let the wobble put you off though, there absolutely awesome brakes and the feel you get from them is mega! (for a survo'd system anyway)

tony_danza:
What did you use to chamfer them, Luke? I've got some naughty pads that could do with the bite easing on them.

xht20:
i am running with DS2500 pads and they look identical with the first pads from top in the picture. I have the same vertical cut through them. Also the DS3000 have the same vertical cutting on the middle. I won't let this problem put me down although the wobble is very hard and the more faster i go and brake at higs speeds the wobble is more powerfull and a dirturbing noise is produced from the brakes.
