312mm Brake Conversion Kit

[lard44]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any links to someone doing the whole brake conversion kit for my PD130? Surprisingly fleabay doesn't seem to have anything...

so far I've found
http://www.fabia-vrs.com/312mmkit.htm - which I intend to ask about

there's also this lot
http://www.autotech.com/prod_brakes_frtbrakeconv.htm (yes I know they're in the states)
but I'm not sure which kit I need!

Any help much appreciated!

Oooh...would this do?

I have a set of them sat at home. Set just like the top link you've posted, only I've painted them black ( you could repaint them any colour obviously ) Haven't used them as I'm going for Brembos now.

So, just how easy/difficult is this to DIY?

I'm pretty handy with a socket set and a spanner when I know what I'm doing, but this is obviously not something I want to feck up - or my post count could be prematurely cut short!

Job for the pros or no?

They haven't they're delivery mileage ones off an Audi TT, I never got around to fitting them.

if you know how to bleed brakes, fit discs, pads also change flexies & feel confident you can do it sure do it.
if not a pro should not charge you much to be honest.

[croakey]

Because the standard brakes are ****. You might not realise this until you've tried a 312mm setup though

 

[hon_n_gem]

how long do standard brake discs last...mine have been on for 16k miles and just thought i might buy them when the first ones die on me!!??

would these work ok on a 1.2? presuming they do but thought a shud ask

They would work but then you would need to get bigger wheel hubs. Something that SEAT UK dont seem very good at sourcing

 

[Guinness]

great. lol any idea on price and part numbers?

 

[Poverty]

I think the one wheelhub for my car is somewhere around £50. Cant quite remember what the Seat guy said. So I presume a larger wheelhub would be more costly!

 

[Guinness]

ah right I can see this idea going out of the window lol if its gona be getting close to the £500 mark a think al leave it my brakes r pretty good and its only a 1.2
