What does anyone know about these pads. Look a bit cheap and cheerful to me. Click link.

No brand name mentioned, so I'd personally avoid them. For a similar price you can get the Mintex pads which, whilst not being as good as the highly rated Ferrodo's, they are at least tried and tested and from a good manufacturer. Brakes in any car aren't the sort of thing you want to take a risk on... when you have over 200bhp on tap that's even more important!
Be Careful lots of place list Cupra R brake products but they are actually for the 20vt Cupra.
Brake pads are not something I would skimp on (like tyres)
Choice is yours though
Tried, tested and failed IIRC, memories of Cupra_Rog getting one track day from a set before they fell apart
But not everybody takes their car on trackdays. And some pads might be great for fast road use but cannot stand up to the constant abuse of a trackday, so I'd hardly call that a fair assessment of them.
this is now the 3rd leon cupra r and....
i have found ,and would beg to differ with anyone,any pad whoever makes it the same as tyres on the front end =10k
with the first car and a bit skint always went the cheap way with the second car pushed the boat out now with the 3rd on 55k given up really till i swap it out but any combination pirellis,goodyear etc etc paying preminum price still same result and driving if anything has moderated as i've ggrown older ,if anything for a smooothhh ride but now find i running kumho(65 a tyre on rear) and ectsa(70+made by some brand?) on front and they've done 11.5k and need changing pronto, would love to hear difference of opinon
