tt/s3 brakes on cupra turbo under standard 16's?

[nogutsnoglory]

he sold his cupra and got an s3

 

[Harry's cupra]

Ah right fair enough!
So is that kit for the Mk4 golf basically the same thing as people have been fitting?

 

[exsaxoboy!]

cos i bought an s3

 

[exsaxoboy!]

its the same brakes as a mk 4 anniversary, basically 312 mm vag brake setup off any model, skoda vrs, anniversary gti, tt etc. I would reccomend any one boosting the cars power to get some, as the power availble is just awsome, althougth its not the same on my s3 dew to the extra weight. Luckkly i have a connection at alcon brakes, who should be sorting out some 6 pots soon!

Just been mappped up to a true 240 bhp at mid vw on the s3, And all i can say now is the car is unbelievable. Leave the cupra in a sraight line with out a doubt!
Demolish it in the corners. Cant wait for all the chassis mods to come! Bring on the pro strreets!

I doubt it would demolish a cupra being 240 and 4wd.

 

[exsaxoboy!]

have you drove one? and having owned a revo ibiza i can say it does. A lot of the power figures people quote are pie in the sky. Tuners can make a rolling road read what they want. Very few chipped ibizas are a true 200 plus bhp.

 

[PhilW]

240bhp in a heavier 4WD car would never be that much quicker.

If they are OEM 16's the 312mm set up should go under no problem at all, just a little snug!

I am thinking about getting the seat sport callipers off the mk4 beeza cupra/tdi to fit on my mk3 cupra next year just for something different, i take it will be the same amount of work fitting these as it would fitting tt brakes

has anyone fitted these to the mk3 beeza yet ?

 

[m0rk]

Stu's fitted them to his Cordie Coupe - exactly the same proceedure

Does anyone know the part number of the banjo bolts that connect the line to the caliper?
Thanks

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Then the hoses. Originals tt hoses the thread was to loose on the thead, althougth ive been told by a local vw specialist that they should fit, and on here. i was then told to use mk3 vr6 hoses, which again i had exactly the same problem. In the end i used the cupra braided hoses, and althougth the fiment is banjo type on the tt calipers, it screwed in nice and tight!

So the TT brake lines I bought wont work properly with the brakes?
I must have missed this post before, what should I do then, get the banjo bolts and see if they work with mine or just get new hoses, the cupra braided hoses, are they lc hoses then
