Are we any further with your brake solution steve?

While my car was at KPM this week for some other work they were requested to reverse the calipers around by Matt @ VW Racing as I understand he is aware of this thread.
As our resident VWR PR man says :wink: Matt is in the states at the APR dealer conference so I am waiting until he returns to pick this up with him.
Having not driven the car yet I can't say anymore at this stage but Kev and Pies at KPM tell me there is no noticeable difference to the pedal feel or stopping power.

I only know he is in the states as I tried to get hold of him as I am concerned nothing more nothing less and I am not a pr man at all for Vwr you go to them more than I do I was trying to get hold of mat to see if he had heard of the problems :smiley:
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Without going over it all again there'll also be track day upgrade kit being manufactured for this kit, comprising a fully floating bell with built in front face cooling, bobbin kits complete with bobbin springs so theyll be quiet on the road and if I supply rotors they'll get temp paint
Designs done, I'm guessing the original VWR rotors were a copy of a common AP design with a 8.5" mounting PCD, just need to confirm final measurements which if Caparo have the same design safety minima as me will see 3-5mm on the rear of the rotor face / bottom ball joint.
There will be one version without spacer, hopefully the bell will go straight onto the VWR rotor otherwise the kit will require the purchase of some AP rotors, I very much suspect the VWR rotor will match the AP design.
Purely stating facts here, the cost of the VWR kit plus upgrade kit will put the buyer into the price bracket of some seriously capable kits so people can pays their money and make a choice.
As previously mentioned been asked for this a few times well before me and Matt had some forum sword fencing action on here. PS burgers are on me at Inters Matt
