LCR Brake pads, fit my Ibiza Cupra-R

[JKing]

found these pads on Eurocarparts:

MINTEX n/a 101790060 BRAKE PAD SET FRONT CUPRA R
BREMBO - WITH WEAR INDICATOR £49.14

I've heard they are the same as my Ibiza Cupra-R (brembo's) pads but with a wear indicator which can be cut off, anyone know if this is true??

Also is the price for a set of pads for both sides??

cheers

LCR owners used to fit ICR pads to their cars cos they were cheap, but they did fit.

ICR pad compound seems to be different though as ICR pads wore quickly and IIRC some broke up a little, probably extra heat stopping extra mass of vehicle (at least that's my guess )

Mintex pads on LCR's haven't had a great reputation, particularly on track days.....I would recommend a search. Buy cheap pay twice springs to mind

Seems to be a few sets of pads around this price for the LCR but I think the Ferrodo DS2500 are £80 ish and for the money are well worth the extra £££.

I think I may have a set of LCR performance Friction pads (half worn) I would need to check but you could make me an offer for these and trial fit etc

so in answer to "do LCR pads fit ICR brembo's" the answer is yes??

Obviously LCR pads of any kind are much easier to get hold of then ICR ones so if they do fit I'm open to suggestions on which type I should choose.

physcially fit yes.
choice of pads is wide and varied, but i generally advise ds2500's as a great upgrade pad.

cool cheers bill, just wanted to know if they fit really as i can get hold of LCR pads easily but struggling to get ICR ones. Not fussed about an upgrade, as long as they are as good as the standard ones.

 

[ibizacupra]

they will fit yes.
LCR std ones have a leading chamfer on them, otherwise same as ibiza ones.
