Did you manage to get a part number for the pads or a price this weekend Matt? Be useful to know the Ferodo number for DS2500's

►VWR Performance Brake Pads

Brake pads can make a significant difference to the performance of the brakes on any car that is driven enthusiastically, especially one that has had a performance upgrade carried out.

It's also of course one of the most cost-effective modifications you can make.

The VWR pads are made of a harder compound that the standard pads, meaning that they have a much better resistance to fade during hard usage.

Available in 'Fast Road' for vehicle used mainly on the road, or 'Road/Track', a harder compound for cars that are taken on-track.

 

PRICE FROM   £130.83  excl VAT FAST ROAD    PART No VWR1KO   130

PRICE FROM   £200.83  excl VAT ROAD/TRACK    PART No VWR1KO   131

I took it from reading their website that those were pads for the OEM brakes rather than for the VWR kit?

I've sent 2 mails to VWRacing some time ago (asking for product information) and I got no answers.
Maybe it's better to call.

....Unfortunately that's not unusual. Even if you phone, keep phoning again if someone isn't available who can help you with your specific query. I assure you that nothing is meant by their relatively poor responses. Personally I accept it and always get through eventually and am happy with the work they do on my car or I wouldn't drive a round trip of 340 miles.

That's the way it is with VWR. They are mostly very busy. But when you live them your car, you wish they wil spend more time on it that on the phone. So leave them some time and every thing will be fine. :happy2:

Matt answered me that they are waiting fore new set of brakes and is still waiting fore some information to answer my questions.

So, keep waiting... :popcornsoda:

As I see aftermarket brakes weigh about 12kg/side, I would be curious to hear if somebody knows how much does the R32/S3 brakes weigh. I still can't decide if it's worth to upgrade from R32/S3 brakes (HEl lines + Carbotech pads) to something better (keep in mind my car is pretty heavy with 1600kgs or 150kg over standard due to audio system). For now, I've just ordered the Carbotech's new RP2 pads to replace my worn XP10. The RP2 have the grip of XP12 but last 2 times longer (they are a little bit tougher on the discs though) ! Another question would be if anyone changed the piston seals after some track days (I don't know if they need to be changed) !

The R32 setup weighs a ton. I cant say I have noticed that extra weight once behind the wheel, I've just noticed brakes that work much better than the 312mm.

GTI brakes are about 15kg/side
R32/S3 are about 20kg/side
