VWR brakes, very disappointed, but hoping to feel better !
SteveP:
I was going for the adjustable top mounts anyway but wanted the TT arms for the adjustably and lighter weight.
danishmkvgti:
I have now had cups made for the KW top mounts to suit std. size springs but am unsure how much adjustability there is with the larger diameter stock spring. Still it should be possible to get aftermarket brakes to fit with TT arms on?? :confused:
Carrera2RS:
Simpson have spoken to VWR and they are travelling, they couldn't understand why they don't fit.
I have updated Simpson as to the reason why, ie the different ball joint placement with TT arms, one possible solution outside sending back would be to have new bells made with a different offset and shim the brake caliper to suit. This would move the caliper out, it's a case of how much clearance the team dynamic wheels have between the wheel and caliper. I would consider moving by say 5mm, can anyone who has this combo see if this is possible ?
If not it's looking at AP's and seeing if the inner face of the brake disc with their kits is moved inwards by less than 3mm.
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
This is due to the width of the caliper and the fact that they try to get them to fit a OEM wheel with no spacer.
Consequently they try to shove the disc inboard too much and then build a spacer onto the bell.
As an alternate to the VWR setup try some AP discs and some R8 rear calipers, F40 Pad shape and OEM+. Similar price with some backup
Fantastic pedal, huge pad choice, A1 rotor material, light weight
TD Wheels have a lot of clearance.
