[D10RDE]

hi all

I'm very interested on any info you guys/girls have on putting the audi 225bhp tt brakes onto an ibiza

i'm aware i will need to get=

312mm discs (redrilled to 4x100)
front callipers
and carriers

how r the carriers moddified to fit the bigger discs??

i'm desperate now and need bigger brakes

thanks in advance for any info people

Try searching!

Your will need to remove about 5-6mm off the caliper carrier.

 

[D10RDE]

so i need to take 5-6mm off the carrier?
wouldn't that hold the caliper closer to the centre of the wheel?

sorry if that sounds daft just i'm a bit confused,

thanks for the reply though

Its to bring the caliper carrier central to the disc - otherwise you're going to get some serious binding going on

 

[D10RDE]

DO I TAKE 5-6MM OFF THE AUDI CARRIER OR DO I USE MY OWN CARRIER?

DOES ANY1 HAVE A PIC OF IT SHOWING ME WHERE I NEED TO TAKE OFF THE 5-6MM

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE REPLY

Turn the damn caps off.

you need to take it off the 312 carriers

tell you what try and fit a caliper and disc on one side only and you'll see what we're on about.

 

[D10RDE]

sorry bout the caps!

thanks very much for the advice mate

Its do able but i'd say something like Brembos are a better option.

 

[D10RDE]

i was just thinkin the cheaper option cause i cant stretch to brembo's at the moment

is there much diff between 312 and 280 on the ibiza cupra

thanks

Here's a pic that you probably wanted.

It's from THIS thread. There's loads of good info about the conversion.
