You got a pic of the pad? - it'll be an AP design more than likely......

Stuff from the US could be here in three days http://www.wpprobrakes.com

Ha ha... brakes seems ok...better than the factory VW brakes.  Would be nice to test MATT ED30's brakes as a comparison...

P.S.  I owe you a big thank you for helping me along the way....  :drinking:

these are not vwr brakes but wp brakes that vwr put on some cars hence y pads are a pain to get

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

I know that VWR colaborates with Caparo Braking for their brakes. At least that's what i have been told

VWR it seems first used WP Pro as a braking solution supplier. They are Asian based and very well known over there.

They then changed suppliers to Project Mu...which are Jap I think?

For 2010 they have collaborated with Caparo AP for their latest 6 pot kit. It looks very nice!
