[james.l]

bit less than standard setup???

bits less brake dust than standard 288mm pads i ment.

 

[james.l]

is it true that you do not require the actuall calliper from the TT just the carrier disc & pads, apparently the calliper is exactly the same on the facelift ibiza as the tt 225, so just the carrier is needed which adopts the old calliper and new discs. Anybody confirm this?

 

[badbill_uk]

i have a 2007 facelift fr and i had to get the caliper and carriers.

 

[james.l]

did you try to fit the original, or just discard the original? did yo compare the size of them both?

 

[badbill_uk]

i have original sat in garage at home, they look very different.

To fit either the 288mm set up or the 312mm set up you will need new hubs off a pd130 or pd160. I have my 288mm set up in the garage if your interested

nope sorry they wont fit! the reason for the cupra having 5 full sized alloys is because of the brakes

i have a 2.0 sport. what would i have to do to be able to fit either 288mm or 312mm discs etc? which would be the cheapest way of doing this?

as far as i know you would have to change your hubs to. the cheapest way is to go to a scrappy for 2nd hand ones or try someone like euro car parts or gsf as they will be cheaper then the dealers

 

[dave_chandler]

so what would the difference be between my hubs and the hubs off of a pd130 or pd160?
cheers dave

at a guess it will be the spacing for where the carrier bolt on to the hub. im not 100% on this so dont hold me to it. if i was you id phone a half decent dealer and ask for the part number for the hubs for yours then as for the number of the hubs for a pd130/pd160

If you have the 256mm FSIII brakes then you will need the new hubs. New from dealers are ~£90 EACH. I picked up a full Furby VRS setup from breakers for £230.

The differences are that the hubs with the smaller brakes have the caliper carrier built into the hub, whereas the LUCAS (288mm) or 312mm have a separate caliper carrier.
