VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
QD MBE:
I know it has been said that the caliper does not work very well in correct orientation (small pot lead). Has anyone tested this? (apart from VWR) Any test results/evidence?
MAT ED30:
Will pop the wheel off tomorrow and see what way my pots are on the car

The pad wear is an issue but is it something directly related to soft pads on track cars with heavybraking thus easily solved? Maybe rotating the calipers will solve it, idont kniw. I've asked a few times on here

it should never have been reversed in the first place imvho, your four pot kit will be fine fast road, you need to make sure you're either getting it for free or extremely discounted
don't worry the VWR logos you can get in the UK

Matt, are you asking us or telling us..I thought you knew?
A full blown AP or Alcon kit is £1950-£2200, the drivers probably believed the hype, custom designed piston sizes etc :sick:
They probably thought it'd be nice having kit 100% designed for our cars too and at a cheaper price....
I know exactly who was running what at what races, who had problems, who wouldn't stop and which drivers were positively reccomending DS2500 to other lets say more gullible drivers after having major problems with them typical pitlane shenanigans ...Not just VWR Matt but all the runners
The VWR DS2500 choice was farcical and an unmitigated disaster despite advice yet still they try to sell Steve P and Neil DS2500 to put into their track slags
The VWR Cup is NOT Le Man it's a Privateer Clubman outing don't expect it to be the cutting edge of Motorsport, that's not to take anything away from the combatants, but if I'm sat here a commercial pilot with a mondeo diesel outside thinking WHY did those cars try to get away with DS2500 around Snetterton, why didn't the drivers? Especially after the fourth set?
QD MBE:
Mr B, did you get the PM's?
MAT ED30:
Dave I don't know all I know is what I was told about the kit when it was being made from people like matt and caparo who must know brakes I would think as they do make em :confused: if they are sh1t then I think you need to get hold of caparo and see what the crack is as you know more about brakes than anyone
