I have been offered a set of seat leon cupra r (180hp) calipers and carriers for £100 + £10 delivery also said I could have the discs for an extra £20 what u guys think? The calipers are also painted red with brembo stickers.

if you're not 100% then stick it into a local garage as the brakes can be a sod to bleed properly without the proper kit

My local garage charged me £20 to fit my calipers, discs and pads  :smiley:

I think it was the 225bhp Cupra that came with the larger brakes

the 180bhp version came with the 312mm's  :undecided:

If you are going to 312mm why change the calipers when they are the same as what you've got? All you need is the carriers and disc's. The job couldnt be easier  :laugh:
