brakes

Hello, my standard brakes are coming to the end of their life so am thinking about other options to replace them with. Option one is to keep the standard calipers and get EBC grooved discs and DS2500 pads. Option two is to get new 4 pot calipers (brembo, neuspeed etc) mounting kit and use the...

Ok so ive had this Ibiza for nearly 5 months now, and ive started to notice that im having to push further down the brake pedal to stop the car. The pedal can actually be pushed to the ground. Ive got the pads checked out theyve said the pads are intact. I just wanted to know if anyone else has...

Just had my car into the TJ today to get my tyre knocking and squeaky steering column sorted, While i was there they also did to recalls outstanding on the car. It's a 1.6cr-tdi sport and the recalls were for the airbag connections and brake servo. I'd not heard anything about it...

Are these discs and pads a good combination? My front discs have rust or are slightly distorted and have a slight vibration when braking so will be changing the fronts soon... Also would it be ok to change to EBC and the Fer pads whilst leaving the rears standard as they are fine? Thats...

I know its a simple choice aps obviously you say. How ever If it was your money what would you do? Ap 4 pots brand new(rare as hell to find them second hand): £432 for a set with pads. TT setup brand new with ebc discs and pads £210. Obviously you can add another £100 to the aps for...

Quite pleased with myself - fitted the Audi TT brakes i bought last week for £130. :D Quite easy to do. Had a big problem removing the retaining screw for one of the old discs. Took me over an hour to get it out after stripping the Philips head. [:@] I used a hose clamp to prevent any...

Basically, the wife has offered to buy me something for the car for Xmas. I did mention a remap or coilovers and she laughed... then said no. Just over £100 to spend I think. My ideas were either a Forge TIP or 312mm front brake set-up. Thoughts?

fitting new discs and pads to my cupra. i ewas just wondering how easy it is to do??

Hey, So I fitted new OEM pads and 312mm discs today, took it for a drive and the brake pedal is spongey. The car does stop but not as responsive as it should or even as the worn pads/discs did. Also, at low speeds I can hear the pads making a light grinding sound against the discs. Gramps...

Hello all, Can anyone suggest the best place for me to buy new brake pads and discs for my cupra r ? Would you reccomend original parts or an aftermarket version ? Thanks in advance Haz

Is anyone else running therese and are they pretty much a straight fit or do they need custom fitting? Do the calipers bolt straight to the hub or do they need carriers making up? Lastly is there any speciffic boxter they need to come off or will any model do? Cheers fellas!

hi, im about to change the disks and pads all round this morning on my 2003 leon cupra, but dont have the torque settings for the bolts that hold the calipers on, does anyone know what these are? many thanks jonathan

thinking of rating the front brakes to s3 312 discs etc has anybody else done this as would like to know if its a straight swap apart for drilling new bolt holes

I've had a look on the search and can't find much for the model of my car regarding brakes (and I want to be sure before I go out any buy some!)... I've got a '99 2ltr 8v Cupra Sport and I'm having trouble finding out which sized brakes I need. Are they the same as the 2ltr 16v as they are...
