Have you done a search on ebay for a totalled Cupra?

You could then get the AP set-up for next to nothing.

I cant send you a PM and i know advertising is not allowed, but you have no email address listed either, so here goes...

I have a set of mintex extreme front pads for your car barely used. I dont want a lot of money £20 plus P+P. just trying to help out.

Thanks, Simon.

ah sorry mate just checked lol pm box is full lol well i have been looking at the yellow stuff pads dont realy know much about brake pads so all info would be great

 

[sooty22]

also would the ap set up fit straight on. just swap the hoses etc over? and are they pretty straight forward to fit?

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Not sure, mine came fitted.

Sooty22 I cant send you PM as i have not made enough posts to get the PM feature as i use the briskoda forums and only check back here now and again. I you do decide to try the mintex pads post an email address and will contact you that way. thanks, simon.

yellow not good... (none of the EBC pads work as well as ferodo DS2500's if looking for an upgrade)

 

[sooty22]

oh i see yeah well not right now as im saving my money 4 my stage 3 conversion from allards but guessing will need to be stopping better he he

 

[Mr Cellotape]

I would buy the brakes first then get the stage 3, otherwise we may be seeing a "look what I did to my car" thread in the future.

 

[sooty22]

lol yeah thats a possibility but the brakes are on the way soon enough! think i will keep an eye out for a f**ked cupra and have the 4pots off that but for the mean time pads are the option at the moment.

Dont get yellow stuff, iv got em on mine, they are wank, seem to overheat and fade really quickly! Get some ferodo's off badger bill!

How much for some for mine bill?? Will need em for when go to the ring in august lol! Dont fancy trusting the yellows round there!

 

[ibizacupra]

~£108+vat I think

 

[dozza.13]
