VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
MAT ED30:
Mine is the race kit as it was off a race car like I posted earlier today so the seals are changed on the race spec ones so I am told by Simon And matt and I think the ones on the vwr old car were the road spec ones but I am not sure only Steve will know this
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
I recall Matt very well.
Whilst not a bad kit, I've never been a fan of them testing it on their customers or the fact that you were buying the VwR logo for an additional £800.
Lets face it if Caparo were selling it branded by themselves they'd struggle to achieve much more than a grand for it in much the same way Forge struggled to sell there brakes for not much more than that
MAT ED30:
They have sold loads of these brakes both in the uk and world wide so I am sure with all the feedback from us lot on this site and others with the bakes it should help solve things.

Very unlikely the seals are different for the "race" version probably Hype, there may be a version without dust seals, its braking 101 there's little point putting mega capable fluid seals on calipers with dust seals, they'll melt before you need the extra capacity of " race seals"
Besides you don't need them this side of carbon....and I don't mean ceramics
Theres been a lot if hype and "marketing" over this kit, it is what its. Next gen stoppers it ain't.

Is yours the same kit as Steve's? Only ask as maybe he has a race spec kit on there as it was the demo car

There is only one version and mine where not the original demo ones but brand new production versions fitted last May when I bought the car.
