VW Racing Big Brake kit product review
MAT ED30:
Yeah that's what I thought Steve and dust seals sounds like it Dave was not sure
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
interesting chat today from the horses mouth
Ds2500 pads woefully inadequate on track a certain number of cars had big problems at Snettertn and Donnington can't for the life of me think why people would even attempt to make that combination of fast road pad, upside down caliper and a tough track work.....
ive just had the discussion with people that know the racing, the teams, everybody practically is on a dedicated track pad F2.
restrictions regarding the use of DS2500 Might and it only is a MIGHT be down to the rotors not coping, that said and being fair Aaron's discs were a mess and juddering badly on the DS2500 but the Mintex F2's cleaned them up nicely and drove very well.
Suspicions regarding the upside down caliper thing may be a rigidity issue..... sticking plastered by putting them on upside down
I also have AP rotors to replace the Caparo rotors ( common mod apparently), and 10 different compounds available on the shelf right now...from road going ds2500 to Project Mu for which I will not accept body parts as part payment
This info direct from the pit lane at last years Cup series......
In fact just had a a look at the timing results from Snetterton last year 18 out of 21 runners on Mintex F2
These are the facts, let's try to see through marketing hype and fan boys and apply some common sense and traditional accepted thinking

Dave
So if you use higher spec pads and floating rotors is that the bbk sorted.
Are all VW Cup cars running these setups?
