Do you currently have a mortgage?, need a 2nd one?

 

[skahigh]

speak to bill, he might know something about this (im pretty sure he does brembo upgrades for beezas). the lcr brembos would not clear your standard alloys so you'd need new alloys all round as well

Look at the brembo web site
Think the set up is called the gran turismo
Approx £1,300
But for way less than that you could get a very good set up with good pads and discs
As above speak to Bill (Badger 5) he has his own section

wheel clearance is the thing to check.
minimum 17" diameter (the easy bit) and 50mm caliper clearance as per this piccy>> http://badger-5.com/bin/wheel-section-view.gif

Baked my front Brembo's on the Nurburgring, tried every avenue with seat and Brembo trying to get some replacements but no joy.

Priced them up from my local Seat dealer and they were around the £460 +vat per caliper!!!!!!

Fook me ,i'll live with mine a browny colour.

I have just pruchased the gt kit for my derv, I got my second hand but unused in black for £850 not to bad. Cheapest i found new was jabbasport at £995 inc Vat,

 

[ibizacupra]

Wondering if any lcr guys would want a 6-pot 355mmx32mm disk setup, on a two piece disk setup.
Price #£950+vat

I'm considering a new manufacturer brake setup which should work out at better value than others around for a big big brake setup.

 

[The MoffMeister]

just when you thought it was safe to come out bill turns up lol

 

[karlosR]

venom motorsport do the GT kit for £720 plus vat. that is with 323x28mm discs and four pot calipers.

I would like to know how you get on Bill. I got a set of 6 pot calipers i wana put on the front of mine.

Also has anyone put 4pobs on the back? I got a set of 4 pot to

Ill dig out the pic


There is a mk2 guy with 6 pots on the front and he said they had to file down the caliper so it didn't hit on the wish bone. Sounds like fun!!!

The LCR only has Brembo's on the front as standard.
