VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
tony_danza:
Bloody hell, my Alcons ranged from £80 for EBC sh*t to £160 for Pagid RS29s when it came to pads. Seal kit was about £20, bolt/bobbin kit around £50, rotors £400+ the vodka... I never managed to wear a set of those out either.
Janner_Sy:
How long do a set of these aftermarket 2 piece rotors last? I do about 8000 miles a year, and about <1500miles of which will be trackdays.
What's the going rate for replacements. Had a look on VWRs website but there are no prices. Also are vwr your only port of call for replacment rotors or are there other options onthe market
MAT ED30:
Done over 20k plus on mine still got loads of pad life and disc life
SteveP:
While the brakes perform well in terms of stopping power and have good road manners there is a flaw in the way they eat pads.
Due to the bigger piston deploying first you get very uneven pad wear as I found when mine failed at spa.
On side of the pad was down to the metal and the other had serveral mm left. This was after 3k road miles and 4 track days.
NeilM's pads were the same, does the same on the race cars in VW Cup too.
Janner_Sy:
:surprised: :surprised:
That's a bit crap isn't it. Do you know if that's being changed at all?
3k road miles and a few trackdays is not really alot of mileage. So eating an entire pad is horrendous. Which pads steve?
How come yours and neils have done that but Matts haven't? Are they the same setup or do you just 'use' yours more than him
