brembo

Want to refurb my LCR's brake calipers. Anyone know if the calipers' original paint-spec is heat-resistant? (I assume not, which might explain their current hue - a rather uncool shade of pale pink. :hide:) I've looked in the 'Refurbing Your Brembos: For Dummies' guide & it only refers to...

Anyone know where I can buy replacement Brembo stickers for my LCR's front calipers? :confused: Thanks.:)

After a quick bit of help. I need to change my pads asap, as im close to being metal on metal at the minute:cry: My car has had the brembo brake upgrade, but i haven't a clue which pads they take. Can anyone point me in the right direction? As I haven't a clue where to look for them.

Just a quick one....... i hope. Does the bleed nipple have to be at the top or the bottom of the caliper or doesn't it matter? Thanks

Looking to purchase a new set of front brake discs for my Ibiza Cupra-R. Is the dealer likely to be the best bet or does anyone know of a cheaper source?? I've seen a few companies offering grooved items on ebay but these are quite expensive. Thanks

Hello everyone, i bumped into an old friend at santa pod today and he was selling some brembo breaks on his stall from an ibiza cupra R. they looked mint and my friend (who is a mechanic) said they had hardly been used. he said he would give them to me for £200(mates rates), thats for the pads...

Hi there I really have a problem at the moment! I bought a Brembo GT kit for my LCR, which only came from the factory with 312mm disc and ATE calibers! I got a TUV from the dealer, but that only for a Seat Leon with the technical approval number, e1*xx/xx*0026* and my car is a...

3 days ago I got the Brembo GT kit fitted and the kit are bed in after brembo's guide. When I hit the brake it feels very HARD, are not like it's bedding instantly.... Is this normal?? My old 312mm did it... my they might be heated faster than the new brembo? Bip??

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for the correct colour of brembos, and the best place to get some paint. I am looking at refurbing the rear calipers. Thanks.

Hi there! My LCR did not came with brembo's as standard, only the 312mm and 2 pots. I've seen Junior kits for the "tiny" prize at 800 EURO, so my question is: Is there Brembo Junior, GT1 AND GT2 kits? I'm a bit confused! Or are the Junior kit similar to the GT1? /Best regards, Thomas

I have just finished fitting my Porsche Boxter callipers and Cupra R disks (305mm). My problem is that the disks just touch the heat shield behind them. I have pushed them back pretty much as far as they will go. If anyone has experienced the same problem or has any advice it would really be...

Hi, Apologies if this question has been asked numerous times but I'm planning on changing my LCR front pads (not disks) with OEM Brembo items tomorrow (managed 26k on the originals believe it or not)... Just wondering whether there’s a technique to bed them in properly (series of 30 –0, 40...

I've got 4-pot brembo's ordered coming in about 3-4 weeks time. At the moment i have also ordered 10mm spacers. currently, i have the 18" andromeda alloys. My question is will i have enough clearance for the caliper with 10mm spacers or will i need bigger. From Brembo's clearance details, it...

Hi guys, My brother in law needs to change the pads on the LCR (2005). He stated that the Brembo factory discs are pretty much new (approx 5k old) but he requires just pads. What are the best suited pads on the LCR's for day to day driving that give good performance and a long life...

The brembo brakes on my ibiza have felt pretty pants since i bought the car about 6 months ago (even worse than the standard brakes on my mates vw passat), i have changed the brake fluid but this has made no difference what so ever. After searching the forum, i have seen that a few people...
