Ive just gone from  a gt tdi to a leon cupra r, has got the 312 brembo set up and there awsome, stopping power is immence.

Brembo's are 323mm aren't they??  Would have thought they were bigger than 312?  As they don't fit under 16inch wheels IIRC

This forum says otherwise - http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/15053-seat-leon-cupra-r-brembo-brakes.html

well i just checked and the s3 and leon cupra R discs are exactly the same size -312mm diameter / 23-25 mm thick

If he gets a cupra R and not just a 1.8t cupra.. They are great different bumpers.. Brembo front brakes with 323mm discs.. Highly mappable and 250+ bhp is easy on a tuned stage one.. My Leon was better handling than the golf and sat slightly lower which was nice..

Try reading ALL of that thread  :rolleyes:

Cupra R discs are indeed 323mmx28mm, and are a direct replacement for the S3 brakes.

They are very similar to the GT kit but they are a different ofset so you cannot use the GT discs with the Cupra R setup for example.
