Brake replacement

[T_J_G]

Now I think I new brakes all round , so looking at getting some sorted soon. I'm going to keep the rear the same as it is and was going to go for Febi discs and TRW pads from VWspares (about £50 altogether) , and then 312mm on the front, but this time get better discs and better pads. Seeing as most of the breaking is done at the front? Is this a good idea or will it cause breaking problems?

Not sure I understand the question, but are you asking if better discs/pads will cause problems?

want 312's on mine cant find carriers   maybe i'm not looking hard enough   anyway yes tim your idea is perfectly fine as said most of the braking as set up is biased towards the front brakes

Sell them for about £100 the pair when they've got them in stock [used of course]

Basically will cheap discs and pads at the rear with good pads and discs up front be ok?

That will be okay, yes, but personally, I didn't like the braking balance of the 312/232 combo under heavy braking.

Are the rear upgrades easy to come by?

They were standard on the Skoda Octavia Mk1 Vrs so they should be. Rhyso has done the upgrade along with a few others..
