VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Just typed a long reply but my IPad just sh@t a hedgehog and lost it.
In summary Matt, we've met you're a nice chap and you helped me out but to throw your hands in the air and say "I don't know - ask Caparo" as soon as they start having problems just isn't good enough IMHO you've been banging the drum since day one and probably countless people have put £2k of their hard earned into these brakes on the back of this review.
We all need to be careful about product reviews, and what we endorse especially when stuffs given away.
These brakes were the best brakes ever on the way home from Milton Keynes, Caparo have no racing pedigree so it would be wrong to assume that these brakes would work well on track yet still they got a 100% review - care to explain?
I just want to bow out of this now and reiterate that these are NOT bad brakes, this is what you should expect performance wise from a £1100 brake kit, the fact that it's more than that to purchase means nothing.
As mike said if you want to play you need to pay, track brakes do not need to be as sophisticated as track brakes you need to drive to work on the following day.
There's a forum point of order here and a lesson to be learnt for everybody with cash in the pocket who reads reviews assuming they're truly independent

AP no longer supply DS2500's with their kits but supply their own, as I expect many folks here already know.

Which is the same as the DS2500 compound IIRC? They just come in an AP box with an AP logo on the back of the pads.

....I don't think so. What evidence do have of that?
MAT ED30:
Ok the thing is Dave I still am happy with the kit on my car and have been for many many miles and I can only go off the brakes on my car and if people are having problems then it's up to the person to contact the company and discuss the problems and see what's going on and then once sorted let us all know what's happening.
