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:
