Mate do them yourself, either with uprated pads, or standard ones.

Its easy to do believe me. I changed mine yesterday in about 40 minutes.

I think my last set of pads were ~£120


Im on my 4th set of front ones :hide:


There's some guides on how to do the Brembro brakes on the main site, so just adapt these for the AP ones. :D

The cars in SEAT tomorrow having the AP's replaced because they went pink and I just know they are gonna say the pads/disks need replacing:blink:

Well the pads have got about 3K left on them and the disks will easily last another set of pads, so I was just looking to find out how much the pads would be on their own or fitted as they are going to have to take the lot apart anyway.:D

How many miles have you done?

Im on 33K, with 5 trackdays, and still on the same discs. I shall be getting some grooved ones after the summer I think.

I usually get an ABS fault come up on the dash when I have about 3k left on my pads.

I'm on 31K, and have not had to change the pads yet, I do a lot of Motorway miles though.

After driving the new Cupra, I wonder if you can fit the R32 disks to the Bezza?

Changed mine last weekend, ended up phoning around to find out about what options there where for uprated pads. (Really didn't feel like paying £'s). I ended up phoning AP to find out a little more info on these calipers. I ended up going throught 5 websites and catalogs to find that no aftermarket product was the same as the original ones.

I know that CP 6600 D55 is actually the wrong caliper number, the seat sport ones are based on this design but are really D59. - (no such caliper number)

Because Seat sport help develop them, they are 59mm deep instead of a 55mm like the feroddo ones, and they have a unique shape. In the end the guy said "It's only 4mm difference but it's part of the braking system so just go and buy the correct part from the dealer".

But then my dealer tried selling me the brembo pads. Doh, "they wont fit" I said then said MK4 cupra not Mk3. Then the best quote yet..... "You've got one?" Anyway.......

£80 in the end, then fitted them myself.

Got Tarox Sport Japs on the front drilled and grooved.
