Brakes are going to need replacing soon, looking to uprate them, whats the most cost effective way to do this. I've heard a bit about changing the carriers to allow for a bigger disc but am not to knowledgeable about the procedure...anyone shed some light on what options i have when it comes to brakes.
cheers!

To upgrade to 312mm brakes (As fitted on the anni, 225 tt's) all you need is 312mm carriers (the back part of the caliper),312mm discs and pads. You can use your existing calipers :wink:

cheers, where is the best part to pick up these carriers? what about the rear brakes can they be uprated? Point me in the right direction and i can handle the rest :wink:

As for the rears I believe but I'm not 100%, that the upgrade isn't as simple, because you have to change the calipers, too.

Find a crashed Octavia VRS, Anni (god forbid!) or MK1 Leon Cupra; they have the 256mm rears; picked mine up from a scrappy for £115 :afro:
