    LCR Brake Pads = Focus RS Brake Pads?

    A friend of mine put me in touch with a guy who is doing ds2500 pads for a good price. I'm double checking that they're the right ones for the LCR's Brembos and he says that they're the same as the Mk1 Focus RS. Can anyone confirm this for me before I part with the cash? Cheers

    Brake Pads - Audi TT/Seat Ibiza FR??

    Does anyone know if the Audi TT 312mm brakes accept the Ibiza MkIV FR brake pads? :shrug: I'm upgrading shortly, and have been looking at the Audi pads. They seem to have the same part numbers as the FR ones. It'll save me a few quid if they do. ;)
