front brake disc size

[IBD]

Can anyone confirm 100% that my 2000 X Leon Cupra with leather and all the toys has 288mm of 312mm discs without me getting out with a tape measure?

Also is it possible to retrofit the 312mm discs onto one with 288mm discs, if so any ideas what would need to be changed, would I need new caliper carriers rom a later model?

Any response grarefully received

It looks like the only way anyone could confirm without you getting out the tape measure is if we got out the tape measure.

I'm pretty sure they all have 312mm discs, BUT and its a big but, a 2000 leon IS different to a 2001 onwards AFAIK because it has the KO3 turbo instaed of KO3s - if they fitted a different turbo its not crazy to think they fitted different size discs.

I spoke to the local motor factor, and the 288mm discs were fitted from launch until July 2000.
My car was registered September 2000 and I have 312mm discs I have checked the sizes
Also I do have the K03s turbo on mine, so who knows when the decided to change the brakes and the turbos!

It is, hangs head in shame

I got my mate to see what my car would look like with the Cupra R kit on, and liked the pic
