MAT ED30:
Oh and I never knew the price of the brakes when they were being made as I don't work for Vwr :booty: oh and I don't tell people what to buy in life it's a choice they make themselves

....Exactly! All we can ever do when writing a review is share our individual opinions and experiences and it's always up to the reader to make their own decisions. :happy2:

Hence the welcome lack of sponsorship. However RR - IMHO Sometimes your allegiance to VWR/Racing Line/Forge/AP/etc can seem overly vociferous.

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

Countless people have bought the brakes you say and how many have had issues? As Matt has said his review is of his brakes! I think your out of order trying to blame a forum member for other peoples choice of brakes! I don't know who you are but seem to sell superior brakes and are jumping on this thread for what? Your own gain?

....You missed out a few on the list, Dave :grin: - Milltek immediately comes to mind. Then there's JKM, the Mk5 GTI, a loooong list.
Not allegance but enthusiasm. Enthusiasm for some of their products based purely on my own personal experiences. You'll notice that I have no significant experience of VWR's Big Brake kit and so I have not posted anything about that product in this thread. Also, all we can ever do is present and share information which is to the best of our knowledge at the time.
I think you probably know me well enough personally by now to realise that I am by nature enthusiastic about things or people that I like. I'm also an optimist by nature. But it's not as if I am never critical of products or services. Anyway, as Mat says, folks can make up their own minds and it's not a problem if some of us don't always agree about various products and services.
