Brake Pads for MK6 .:R Brakes?
« on: 15 February 2011, 17:09 »
I bought a set of Mk6 .:R brakes and need to replace front pads. Had a look on brakes4u.co.uk but couldn't find any. Anyone give me any advice?

Thanks in advance

They're not the same, they're slightly bigger I think, 355mm?

if they are 355mm then they are definately bigger. the R32/S3/Cupra all use 345mm iirc. CAnt imagine why they would introduce a bigger size when the current S3 setup has always been fine.

They are the same as the S3, R32 and Cupra K1 brakes  :smiley:

The discs are 345mm and the pads can be sourced from loads of places. I am currently running a set of Golf R brakes on mine while waiting for something new to come out.



My personal favorites are the Mintex Fast Road M1144 pads, not the cheapest at £100 a set but they really work well  :evil:
