 :jumpmove:finally, tonight i will go on the highway and do a proper bedding, with 8 stoppings from 60mph to 10mph, and after cooling i will do some power braking to see if the wobbling dissapears completely. I'm thinking that after the brakes are heating, the wobbles desapears.

tomorrow i will go and do the geometry to the car (i hope this is the correct term). I've also mounted on the rear Goodridge brake lines along with the R32 brake setup. The stopping power is incredible, i've done about 60 miles of bedding till now.

after doing a proper bed in of the brakes, i'm speachless. The stopping power is incredible. I'm loving these brakes. The guys from VWR + Caparo are the best for the quality of the products, and the patience they had with me in solving my problems. Hats down in front of them  Congrats

Glad your pleased with them and you finally found your problem, The quality of them is second to non, and after trying the earlier project MU setup i can say that VWR went the right way for sure.  Smiley

These have so much more power and feel then the MUs  Laugh

ds2500 or i think its the 3000 too for track abuse  driver i do know some of the race cars are running ds2500 on track too to see how they got on and after i had a good chat with one of the drivers he was very very happy with how the brakes are with them  in as he thought he had the race spec pads in  Smiley
