What requirements you got from the pad?, the RS29 has a very high temperature range.

Is it fast road or are you doing 20 laps back to back at Oulton bansai styleeee.  :driver:

Seriously there are a few guys stuck in this situation and it appears VWR are quoting themselves out of getting involved which is fair enough....

You might still end up paying over the odds but you might end up with a better quality product such as Endless

Are you four pads per caliper or two?

How do Endless pads compare to better known ones for example ds2500?

Does anybody know which company make these pads for VWR?

http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/Golf%205%20Pages/Golf%20Brake%20Pads.html



Seems the backing plates are copper plated. So Carbone Lorraine?

I think thats a file picture....

Those pad shapes are exactly Mitsubishi Evo 5 thru 10.......

Endless are pretty much the pinnacle of pads, the racing compounds are very popular with race teams.

Comparing DS2500 to Endless Fast road is like comparing a stock GTI to a RS4....both good but a clear gap between them....

I can get Pagid RS pads or Ferodo DS3000 pads at handy money, if you would like a VWR sticker on the box please add 70 GBP + VAT....... :happy2:

Of course I've that it's not the pad shape for a Golf.

I just thought somebody might know where the VWR street pads are from.
I don't think they sell eclusive VWR pads. They will probably buy their pads
from Ferodo, Pagid, CL, Hawk and the lots.

Much more expensive, guess much better as well.
