Best Place To Buy Aftermarket 312mm Brakes?

[Cupra_Jay]

Did a track day in my Ibiza yesterday and now both my brake discs and pads are well and truely shagged!!

Im looking into upgrading them this time around, and wanted to know where is the best place that you can get EBC or Tarox brakes from?? Have looked in the FAQ's MK4 brake upgrade thread but it appears to just talk about the 312mm tt conversion..which having a cupra i already have!

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated

Thanks

Mine stops

If you look for Audi TT discs there are normaly cheaper. Thats what I'm doing after christmas pluss some ds2500's

cheers guys, out of interest..and so i can compare how much are the standard 312mm cupra discs from SEAT??

 

[T. Spark]

No sweet idea, however look on CRN website, give them a call and blag them cheaper. I did

 

[Cupra_Jay]

lol!! am currently looking at...

EBC Turbo Grooved discs on front
EBC plain discs on rear
Yellow Stuff pads all round

Can get it all in for about 300 notes

cheers damo!! £120 for each of the 312mm discs....works out at £277 for the discs, plus the £80 odd for the pads and thats just the front!!

i think im gonna go for the EBC hahaha!!

 

[Damoegan]

Its £120 for a pair mate..

But your right, it is just as cheap to get uprated ones though. I will be

Out of interest, how did it handle on the track? I would love to get mine on a track.

Were your discs and pads quite old before you did the track day? I'm surprised they were shagged afterwards! Were they just standard OEM ones?

 

[Damoegan]

I might go fore one of these clicky clicky.

2nd set won't fit an Ibiza. First one should fit a Mk4 Cupra fine though.

 

[Damoegan]

What is the difference in them mate?

 

[kriso]

The rears are too big in the 2nd set. mk4 rears are 232mmx9mm

 

[mrcoyote]

256mm x 18mm vented on the rear of the first set and the Ibiza takes 200 "something" mm x 9mm solid ones. Can't remember from memory and I'm too lazy to check in the garage right now.

 

[Damoegan]

My bad, I was only looking at the fronts

 

[Cupra_Jay]

damo - car handled really well on the track, was wet for most of the day so couldnt give it full beans!! managed to keep up (and overtake) a evo 9 fq320!! he killed me down the straight but thru the corners he was useless!!

kriso - the brake pads where low before the track day, but i knew they would need replacing afterwards. it is the 3rd track day i have done on these discs and i knew i had to repalce them aswell when i change the brake pads

 

[mhill]

With the evo was that lack of skill on his part?

 

[Cupra_Jay]

yeah i would say so!! he killed me down the straight but through the corners he was twitching all over the place. im not afraid to throw my car about either...did 4 years of gokarting before i started driving and got 2 big trophies in my room!!

 

[Damoegan]

I'm deffo gona try and get mine on the track at some point next year.

Jay, what is you full list of mods? Is it just what you have in your sig?
