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

yes they did as caparo had my car for all the measuring up  :happy2:

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!

Yup.. For the money the Caparo kit looks fantastic and Matt certainly seems very happy with them..  :smiley:

they had my car and a few set of wheels to check all the measurements and to check for clearances and vwr got one finished set to check on a race car and to push as hard as they could  :driver: to see how they got on with the heat and abuse  :driver:, and after a few little things needed changing on the carriers for our oem wheels all has been done and are now for sale to everyone  :happy2:
