S3 brakes back from powder coater............

[vRSAlex]

The rear calipers have the handbrake built into them and you can't adapt the fronts to have a handbrake.

Any ideas regarding the uneven wear?

Are the pads seated properly? Take it out and give the brakes a good stamping. Can you see the back of the disc? If the same thing happening there? Could it be that the carriers are warped?

I can't remember from when we were chatting but are the pads used or new?

Where can you get the vRS clips? Do they fit the Cupra red calipers?

I could get to the back of the disc, but I bloody hope the carriers aren't warped!!  It still stops on a sixpence, massive improvement over OE!  I will take it out and give it a proper run in the next few days.

The clip is the original S3 one that came with the brakes, I have just sprayed it satin black, wrapped it in carbon film and a friend knocked up the vRS logo's for me.  

Anyway, here's a sneak preview.........



The only problem now is the rears look small, and the calipers need powder coating to match the front!  But to do that they will need to come off, so I will need replacements.......

Really like the brakes, I've just purchased a set of R32 front and rears. Was wondering who DaveB and where is he located? i'd quite like him to refurb mine if he doesnt mind and powercoat red? Do you mind passing me his details?

They look great, top job. Do you have full photos of the side of the car with the brakes fitted?

Thanks mate, the missus drove it today and seeing the brakes behind the wheels rolling, especially when she booted it and slammed the ar5e end in to the floor looked.......... 
I will be taking a few more pictures once the car has had a spot of TLC, I need a new signature picture anyway!!!
