Brembo Front brake disc's/Pad's. Any good??
« on: 15 July 2016, 20:45 »
Hi, I'm the look out for better braking on my 1.8T. The front discs & pads are fairly new but crap to say the least! It fails to brake enough above 80mph! With it being modded etc. So my first thought was the common larger diamater brakes from an S3, Seat Loen etc, but current funds won't stretch to that, so I looked through eBay and found these.
Are these any better than the standard 1.8T OEM setup

Cheers

Cheers for the advice buddy. So if I was to go for (find) carriers, discs & pad's to suit a 312 setup but use my current calliper's, what exactly would I look for? Seat Leon, Audi S3, Golf MK5 GTI etc?

Cheers  :smiley:

Audi s3 is 312.
Sure the leon cupra are only 288 standard and the cupra r is a massive upgrade
Mk5 not sure on size. Disc wise its the wrong stud pattern
