Beetle RSI brakes

[JoeV]

Does anyone know if they brakes from a beetle RSI will fit a Leon FR, i am guessing they will be the same as an R32?

mk4 shape R32 ones will fit the cupra/vrs/TT iirc.what does the fr run?288mm? wheel clearance will be the first issue.

Yes, FR is 288. I know the R32 ones will fit, just need to make sure the RSI beetle ones will before i buy them.
Clearance shouldnt be an issue with the wheels on the car.

FR diesel is 288, petrol is 312mm

Mine an FR petrol and it definately has 288mm discs?

theleon cupra has 312mm fronts on, r32 calipers wont fit strait on without bigger discs, 323mm like cupra r

better off sourcing some porsche 996 calipers, and 312mm discs for a better brake option.

R32 front brakes are 334x32mm so are bigger than the Brembo set up from the LCR. Discs are also very expensive from VW.

Have you measured them, what year is it? Mine is 2004 with the 312mm brakes.

 

[techie]

I thought the FR petrols did come with 312mm brakes and the diesels were 288mm.

 

[JoeV]

Mines a petrol 2005, definately has 288mm discs.

Also the RSI set up comes with discs, carrier and calipers so it should be a straight fit??
