Robin,
I couldn't help noticing the brakes on the Red Racing line Golf on the day. What are they, and how much would they cost?

....Well, I did politely ask and she grinned and nodded. Probably her usual face though!

....They are VWR's own big brake kit - Just over £2,800 including vat and fitting. I find them a bit snatchy compared with my AP Racing's but they do work extremely well!! I've got a bit more used to the feel but got a bit of a shock first time I applied them.

Its a VW Racing branded Project Mu product, they are fantasic! Love them to bits, should have them on my car soon.. Well as soon as I can afford them anyways lol..
Really didn't notice the grabby feeling that you describe Robin.. Possibly the pads were not bedded correctly when you drove the car? I think I was in it a little while after you..

....Yes, I have the honour of being the very first non-VWR staff to drive her and the last time I drove her was still before you did. I know after my feedback that Mark was going to do more to sort out the brakes. Time for me to re-acquaint myself with her methinks. I really love that car - So tactile!
