VW Racing Big Brake kit product review

[QD MBE]

is the centre bore not the same with the vrs? i will show mat the pic tomorrow 

I noticed this when at VWR last week, Matt assured me that VWR had experienced no problems at all due to the lack of a mounting Spigot, it is due to VWR making the disc Bell thicker (therefore incorporating a spacer).

Matt assured no problems.

nice one i am down having my new bells fitted and calipers over the next few weeks but will at the track tomorrow with him so will have a chat

is the centre bore not the same with the vrs? i will show mat the pic tomorrow 

is about the length of the center bore. there is no length remain on which i can put the wheel on. I cannot  fit the wheel only on the bolts because they would brake.

ps: sorry for my english, i'm trying to do my best

[xht20]

another picture, i hope you understand what i am talking about

[MAT ED30]

yes i will show him the pics but i would not worry about that as once the wheels are bolted on they would never ever move

[xht20]

for extra safety i ordered a custom-made piece, like an extension to the center bore. I will post pictures with it tomorrow. Hope i can solve this problem

I mentioned this to matt when i went over to see him,
In theory it should be ok without the centre spigot as long as you keep checking the bolts are tight, but then again its there for a reason! I was thinking about machining the spacer off of the bell and just fitting my eibach spacers with the centre spigot again.

It wouldn't be a massive amount of hassle for them to have a spigot machined onto the bell when its first made tho,

Or you could change to studs and nuts on the hub

I see what they've done and understand why, and I'd prefer that to spacers, but I'd still want a spigot regardless. What's this custom piece Teff, can you link it for others?

What does that change the effective ET to then? It might be worth them telling people, as if they're close to the limit already with say my wheels for example on an ET42.. it could push them out too wide.

in this moment i'm going to the tuning shop to see if i got the piece. I don't know how to tell it in English, later i will post the picture and try to explain. Is it like an extension to the centering hub so that the Hub Centric Ring can be mounted on it and after that, the wheel to be fixed on it.


So, this is what i understood from your explanation: they made that disc bell, or how is it called, a little bit thicker so that aftermarket spacers won't be needed. Am i right?

[tony_danza]

Yes, that is right. The alloy bell that holds the rotor/disc is thicker to push the wheel out further and stop the back of the wheel hitting the caliper. An in-built spacer.

In the opposite, my bells are quite thin, so I have to either use a 3mm spacer or get a bigger offset wheel - but I still have a full spigot to mount on.

It's just 2 different ways of fixing the problem of caliper clearance.

I think I know what you mean by the part, it is like a piece of tube that extends the spigot? That'll be fine, it's only to stop wheel wobble at high speed, the bolts once tight will do all the important work.

[xht20]

yes toni, you're right. That's the piece.

[MAT ED30]

Ok stop worrying about it I have just had a bell and a hub in my hands and they have the gap at the top but they sit tight to the hub and don't move at all. These are on most of the vwr race cars and I am just watching them racing/testing on them now and trust me the race drivers love em and they don't move a single mm so just don't worry about them at all

[tony_danza]

I think he's talking more about the spigot not sticking out enough to mount the wheel on, rather than the bell/hub.

Where are you testing?

[MAT ED30]

Oh I get u now. Over at oulton park today

[tony_danza]

You should have said, I'd have come over - how long you there for? I must bust the office....
