VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
MAT ED30:
What seals have you guys got on the pistons as I know the ones on my calipers are off a race car ie the jetta that ronnie o Sullivan was driving and I remember Simon and matt both saying the the piston seals are not the same on the road versions but I could be talking crap :smiley: it's just something that might be a reason so maybe the pistons don't go back quick enough on the track with other seals in :confused: just an idea maybe

Have they released a 4 pot kit now?

I can't see how driving style will make any difference to the wear pattern, to me it would only affect the wear rate.
Here's the state of mine: -
Near Side Caliper
Offside Caliper
Also worth noting these pads where flipped around about 700 miles ago to help balance out the wear but still there is a significant difference. Also the offside pads where crumbling too :surprised: :surprised:
chungster:
I suppose if the car does way more track work vs normal road driving then I can see the big piston wearing out the pad faster than the side with the smaller piston.
But if the big piston is deployed first then IMO that's the problem really. Surely that means the braking isn't progressive at all?
