agree with Gaz  , its to do with the way the vacuum assistance works.
if you try and pump the pedal with engine off it will go hard. pedal feels fab with no drop drop under pressure.
but as soon as you start the car , vaccuum is created and the assistance kicks in  and the pedal goes awol

That's exactly what happens (although to say the pedal goes awol would be a bit over-dramatic  )

Many thanks chaps - that's reassured me and I'll untie the cord from around my neck now

DaveB1970 - Did you get my email? I cant PM you as im so new unfortunately...

Sorry mate didn't see it, im away a lot at the moment and my webmail filters are a little harsh as they on a max setting because of the 3 tonnes of Viagra I get offered most mornings. Either resend it or give me a call on 078 31 275 6 0 2

resent it there now Dave, hope you can help me out!

Dave,

Thanks for the starting this thread.

I'm new to the forum and i've been considering the change to the R32 setup, but after reading this, i'm set on trying this.

I've found the set of brakes you linked previously, here's hoping.

If i'm lucky I'll PM ref a refurb and extras required.

Good luck with the auction

Dave,

I see SteveP is selling his orange set of porker's. Shame about the install problem.

As a newbee i'm not allowed to post on the for sale section yet.

Could be interested. Need to check out the finances.

How does one go about contacting each other?

Richard.

Great thread - subscribed

Tempted but stuck with the 17" wheels for a bit now as just given them a full set of new tyres.

Not sure the clearance would be enough.

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

16's are big enough radially! 3mm spacer on17" Monza's works well - £15 from ebay, they still leave some spigot showing so good to go

Bodger00 I initially went with no spacer on my 17" monza II's but the clearance was very tight so went with the 3mm spacer as Dave said and yes I got it from ebay aswell, :-) plenty of clearance with spacer and no fitment bolt issues - definitely the way to go, have done about 4k miles on mine now and they are great :-) :-) :-)

Drove my ex's ed30 the other day with the std brakes and night and day difference, this really is a must have upgrade if you have any extra engine power!

Cheers

John

You mean 5mm spacer there, John?

I have a pair of 3mm spacers if anyone needs them; should be enough to give sufficient clearance.

[jmspear]

Good spot and pretty important in the post, no I meant 3mm spacers, have modified now ;-) cheers!

[bodger00]

Thanks jmspear thought they would be a no go for me tbh.

Hummm think I will defo do this mod these if i'm going to Revo
