since there isnt already a clear guide on this upgrade i thought id help others out!
what youll need:
callipers
carriers
brake flexis
312mm discs
and all associated bits and pieces
first of all i had the discs re-drilled to 4x100 cant find my close up picture but you can see easily enough from the above picture
i then had 5mm milled off of the carriers, i had also been told 4mm would do so got 5mm taken off with the thought that if too much i can shim them out a touch
i also filed down the inner face of the carrier so that it all sits flush and gives a bit of extra clearance (circled in red)
i then fitted up the brakes and noticed the flexi needed modifying to join up with the brake lines, i dont have any photos of this but you will need to file down the locating lugs on the flexi as the ibiza doesnt have them, should fit up to the brake lines nicely once they have been removed!
if fitting under the standard cupra wheels you will need to fit a spacer to clear the face of the calliper, i fitted 5mm spacers and theres plenty of room!!
you should end up with this at the end (excuse the dirt!!)
and FAR better brakes even using oe pads and discs!!
hope this helps people!! think thats everything covered
