Really need your help, front brakes

[rakesh27]

Guys,

At the moment i own a Mrk 4 VW Golf GTi-Turbo 20v and recently i got done was put on rims and jom coilovers front and rear, i think its been dropped around 40mm.

Anyways on the way home tonight from work everytime i press the brake pedal the front right wheel or brakes is vibrating.

I normally stop on the way home nearer to home for a smoke at this small quite church, so i did today to investigate, i did full lock to the right and looked underneath at the front right wheel. I couldnt see anything broken, everything looked ok and where it should be, this vibration only happened recently.

Does anyone know what it could be ?

Also after the bank holiday im getting a remap, pipecross panel filter and DV put in by R-Tech, should i invest in some good arbs, maybe the drop is causing this (when i turn left my front right driveshaft is rubbing on the arb, making a noise)

What should i do and what could be my problem with the brakes.

Thanks all.

i assume you had your wheels balanced

do you get wheel wobble at speeds?

Rhys whats a wheel sobble??

First of all you need to check that everything is tight from the work you had done strut etc. If everything is ok my guess would be a warped disc.

Rhys whats a wheel sobble??

its swhat appinz when you start drinking Stella 

and as mentioned it could be worn pads / warped discs

You could be right, pads are ok, on my last mot and service, my mechanic did say we need to change or check your discs, another expense.

Should i get the 22mm whiteline arbs adjustables and once delivered give to my mechanic get them fitted and them tell him whats been happening for him to fit the arbs and check the discs and pads.

How much are just discs, also once i fit the arbs will i be able to lower the front and rear more with result of no more rubbing.

thanks all.

Depends what you want, standard discs with a good set of pads are fine,  http://www.vwspares.co.uk/g4brakes.php

Either of the two 288mm shown there would be fine.

What about the arbs, would that right for me elimnate the rubbing and lower alittle more.

Should i let my mechanic first check the problem or just buy the discs and get him to fit them, see im unsure it could be something else.

Thanks for all your helps, much appreciated.

I would get it checked first, the arb will help with rubbing and allow you too lower some more.

[rakesh27]

Ok thanks for advice, i will get the remap done, buy the whiteline adjustable 22mm front arbs take to mechanic for fitting and tell him to check.

Just means ill have to drive slowly for a while, man ill miss the remap.

Do you reckon be ok to drive for a couple of days to and from work, just drive slowly.

PS.

Johnson, i see you have a AGU engine same as me, are they good once after a remap, also have you lowered your car, did you have the same problems as me relating rubbing if you did get yours lowered.

Thanks
