VWR brakes, very disappointed, but hoping to feel better !
Hedge:
S3 Arms and Hubs are fine it's the TT ones that seem to cause the problems. :confused:
Carrera2RS:
Some good progress,
I have spoken to VWR, they are considering a solution and will come back to me.
It's worth pointing out they built the calipers the non usual way round to improve pad life for a road car. The 'normal' race way round will provide better 'bite' and braking, but at the expense of pad life.
If this is not a goer, then I will look at your helpful suggestions DaveB thanks for the help

Matt, I have TT arms not S3, Hubs are stock ?
fuscobal:
Mat, I've replaced the TT arms first and felt a good cornering improvement and then the S3 hubs and the comfort improved !?!? Believe me, this was not only in my mind and I don't fully understand it even now. Because the hub is just a lighter piece of metal it can't influence comfort by itself but the only logical explanation for me is the lower weight of the hub helped the damper work better since the ride is much less crashier now !

:grin:
Somebody fooked up, one way fits all Im afraid. Small piston bites first, bigger subsequent piston bites second. From leon Cupra R to Red Bull F1 Car, unless VWR know better than AP Racing who manufacture F1 brakes.
You're being blagged because of a school boy error - you'd feel better if they just laughed and coughed for it or at least tried to tell you they were off an A4 which does have lagging not leading brakes...............
