vw racing 4 pots

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Not necessarily a big fan RR just would want to get a guaranteed cast iron product for my £1800 quid and I think AP represent the best chance of getting that if I decided to deploy that sort of wonga into some brakes.

Alcon FTW.

For anything to have stood up to the sustained abuse I have given mine and never, not ever fade once - they've been worth every penny.

Rotors last way longer than AP and the discs are bigger thus dealing with heat better, without being so big they can't ever get up to operating temp in any other enviroment than a track.

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Must say I agree....






Coming to a Rocco not near you soon!

how much do you wont for them ...

open to sensible offers if you dont have any s3 brakes to px

[tony_danza]

That's an Alcon disc, but not a caliper.

I've pasted mine on 3 Ring trips and 11 track days without an issue, once I'd ditched the DS pads.... vibration central.

That's an Alcon disc, but not a caliper.

its a alcon extreme ....£1750

[tony_danza]

I missed the ? off the end, looking again it is an Alcon type B but most likely the 888 version, an Astra VXR?

Regardless I'm betting you got vibration? Those Ferrodo pads really suck ass, took me 1 session at Oulton to melt them to the disc and I had to get the discs re-polished and ditch the pads for something decent. Since then, A-OK.

they was cack....very poor and dull, not much feel in them... felt warped when warmish and fadded like mad... had a few sets of pads as they didnt last and wore un even ....Theres a few other vxr owners who have loads of problems , disks bein skimmed left right and centre ...So ill be avoiding alcon..

[tony_danza]

How strange that mine have been so different? Several VW Cup cars run them and a few friends have them on their cars, an M3 CSL and Cayman race car, with no issues either. In fact other than the common DS pad issue I've never heard of a problem, that's why I bought them.

Saying that, VXR's are poo, they fall over at Brunnchen 2 

[paulk]

lol.....maybe it was a bad batch....The guy DAP is best mates with ben from alcon so im sure they was pucka jobs...I just expected better for that amount of cash....The s3 brakes on my ed30 performed better than my old alcons...

[MAT ED30]

Scene monkey. You buy brakes to use them, not to score points..

I think we both know I give em stick but I only brake when I have too  but then again I set my stock brakes on fire so just proves I used em hard  as for being a convert it's not about that it's just I have had brembo brakes and have them on my scooby front and back of the car so I know my vwr brakes have much more bite and stopping force than them. As for price of them well it's your money do what you want with it and if all you want is scene points then good for you but that's not my game sorry.
