So if you use higher spec pads and floating rotors is that the bbk sorted.
Are all VW Cup cars running these setups?
that would take the kit to over £2.5K....that opens up a WHOLE lot of options, advanced brake kits at that sort of money deal with heat by design..... fully float in the bell systems with front face cooling for example
if you cut out the hype of which calipers people are running, in the pit lane it's simply down to what pads people run. The calipers at that level are simply there to hold the pads in the correct place nobody gives a rats arse what calipers you run, it's accepted they're up to the job and pads are what counts
I would suggest the racing line customer prepped cars run the kit as they have a vested interest in selling their own kit, in the main its AP racing and Alcon, the VWR kit uses an AP pad shape that's been around since the sixties . As I alluded to earlier all the cars are run on a budget so it doesn't need to be top notch stuff it just needs to last 20 laps they can worry about the next race between races.
There's a place for the VWR kit, my issue with it is Value for Money, I've not commented on my own personal viewpoint on the kit until now, take the badge of it and it's a £1200 inc vat kit which would be competing with Forge, K-Sport, XYZ, willwood., Hi-Spec. ..... 2 piece far east calipers can be had for £250 a pair landed in the UK duty paid....rotors £150, as I alluded to over on the NQSBBK thread caliper design is a frickin minefield and it's something Im on with, I won't do two piece and mono block billet calipers need 5 axis CNC...it's a 18 month project
Are we to romantically beleive some guy is hand finishing these calipers in Milton Keynes in the corner next to a load of race cars? What aspect of the kit makes it £800 more expensive?
