brembo calipers

[JoeF]

was just looking on ebay to see if they had any as last time they didnt but there is a few pairs, will any sets fit the ibiza tdi fr? also noticed there is some good looking brembo caliper covers which are like £40 lol, any one actually got any of these or fitted them, just curious as to how its done.

brembos will need 17inch wheels. do they come with disks as well if not you will have to find the sizr of disk needed and maybe mounting plates to mount the caliper to the hub

so ide need new wheels then as i think standard they are 16, what about the covers? will they be 17 too? was just reading some threads anyhow and seems brembos are not required unless some serious power is under the bonnet which under mine is only 130 at the min, but hopefully remap soon in the region of 170 - 180? would standard ones stil be sufficient

audi tt 312mm ones are best bet not bank breaking fit under 16inch alloys they are fine on my car stop very well

erm one i think had to buy triple d's cupra alloys though as his atermarket ones didnt fit over them. most just go with tt ones as seap sport brakes are only on the cupra an finding second hand ones are hard and new ar about 300 quid a caliper!
