Are you going for a bigger disc, or a direct replacement? They've seen better days haven't they...
Just standard size groved discs. The last week or so there's been a burning smell :whistle:
James where did you get the forge power steering fluid cap from?

Hahaha, they've done some work mate!:-o

As far as I can tell these are the original discs so that's 71k. Probably about 5k to many though:(

James where did you get the forge power steering fluid cap from?

If memory serves me correctly, its a cap for the Ibiza (Mk3), which sits over the green cap as a billet cap cover. I couldn't find one anywhere for the Leon, so took a punt with this one and it's perfect - gives a snug fit and allows the cap to remain functional. I got it off eBay but it was so long ago that I don't have a link. I've looked on Forge and eBay and I can't find one anywhere???

Thanks Ill try and track one down. It's the power steering fluid cap isn't it not the brake fluid?

Good work there mate! That's an improvement! :)

JCaps do a anodised/polished power steering cap for our cars which I will be going for. It's a replacement for the gash green one. :)

My bet is 2500's.

Paul, how much were those Godspeed discs if you don't mind me asking? I've heard they're a good alternative to EBC turbo grooved and are cheaper. Might consider them next time, which is a while yet but good to have options.

2500's or 3000's?

They're 2500 but I'll be trying the 3000 next time. Have you ordered the 3000 yet?

I've also ordered the caliper spacer brackets from Bill that you need for them to fit.

They seem good quality but Godspeeds dispatch time isn't great! Hopefully I'll get chance to fit the in a couple of weeks so I tell you what they feel like.

How much are the brackets mate?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the setup..
