Snoopy Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 If you're running 16s, I'd recommend going for the Ibiza Cupra R brembos. You can get a set for around 450 quid, and they look (and perform) excellently.However, many alloys won't fit over them - obviously they need to be 16 inch or bigger alloys, but the shape of the alloy affects it too. If you are running 16s and are interested, let me know and I'll try and fish out the relevant information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexLoop Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 what makes you say you need a whole new brake kit??? just something you want to do, surely the standard ones havent caused a problem.The Cupra R Brembo's look very nice, are these the same as the ones Ross sold?

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 If your thinking of an upgrade in future you can have my old front discs to tide you over until you can decide/afford/wotever an expensive upgradeI took them off to fit my big brakes and although worm they are more than useable.If your coming to GTi festival you can have them for nowt. Not worth me posting them tho...too heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
