EBC brake upgrade ok for KO3 hybrid?

[CupraElliott]

I am going to need some new brakes soon. But I am going KO3 hyrbrid in the future.

Would EBC turbo groove discs all round with green stuff pads be ok with that setup? Only problem is there standard size, 280mm.

I dont really want to 'skimp' on the brakes. But if that would provide adequate breaking I would go for them.

I have done a search but cant really find any definet answers on brake upgrades.

Some links, prices, options etc would be nice.

I know Brembos would be a good option, but I have a budget of about 300-400.

Brembo 280mm discs and ds2500 pads from Bill are pretty much the best set up you will get for standard brake set up.

280's can cope yes..
EBC disks.. ultimax... or my eliptically grooved brembo ones. but combine them with a decent pad like ferodo ds2500's and high temp brake fluid

Brembo grooved disks + DS2500 + Motul setup being used here on MrsB Lupo 1.8t @ Oulton Park

Holy moly, when you think how light the Lupo is, to get the brakes running that hot is quite something. There again I don't suppose its running standard 1.8T power!

the green stuff pads couldnt even cope with mine on stage 1, no way would they take hybrid.

Ill be using this setup for my hybrid unless a set of 2nd hand brembos come up.

Glad to hear it copes!

Ive still got standard disc and greenstuff pads from my previous brake setup on rears...

 

[ian_cupra]

[pj1985]

No point changing the rears.
