I finally got my leon cupra brakes fitted to my ed30 :evil:. They feel much much better than the stock brakes, they bite well and give more confidence when pushing. They fit easily behing the team dynamics and fill behind the spokes nicely.
Not done a proper road test with them yet, but initial impressions are very good.
All in for £210 is an absolute bargain :grin:.

210 is a bargin, were they the ones off ebay you were telling me about last week? are they 345mm? how much would they be from the seat stealer :smiley:
-
Yes the ones off ebay. Think they are around £800 from seat but there was a guy offering the full kit on SCN for £555, he can get as many kits as you want as he works for seat parts.
Bacillus, im down at a local revo dealer on friday, can he change the codes with vag com?

Im not the best at writing long reports :grin:. All i can say is they are waaaay better than stock, bite very well even from high speeds and look alot better.
These brakes should have been put on the car from the factory.
If i knew they were this good, i wouldnt hesitate paying alot more for them. Will run these pads out and maybe experiment with some ferodo front and rear pads to get even more stopping power :evil:

I dont think Dynamics machine conical seats into their bolt holes, hence the need for different spec wheel bolts.

Try SCN and search for leon cupra brakes.

Come to £644 inc vat and then you have the hassle of painting them red. The deal on SCN is very good £555 all in is a very good price. I was going to get them until i saw the ones on ebay :smiley:

Still waiting to see if anyone can provide details on how to install the 310mm vented rears and not just the fronts.
