4motion brakes 312mm

[Glenryck]

Hi all does the v6 4motion have 312mm brakes as standard mine are a bit lacking in bite unless you jump on them hard. Would it be worth paying out for  set of cupra brakes or r32 or just getting the old ones overhauled any ideas cheers.

I believe they are 312mm at the front and 256mm at the rear. decent discs aint Cheap bud. You should get brakes checked out before spending on new set of discs

Just getting decent pads, braided lines and decent brake fluid can make a lot of difference.

I have standard 4mo brakes with pagid disks and Brembo pads and they work very well suggest get better pads etc as jonrandom said

Had them on the car for a year and a half no issues bloody good for the money and a lot better than the ones I had on before .... A few lads up this way run them and again no issues....

Nice one bud. That is a damn good price for them too.

The only main issue with fitting an R32 setup is the price of genuine 334mm front discs, its best part of £200 per disc for oem. I've tried cheap Ebay discs before and they just aren't up to the job, under hard breaking they seem to generate so much heat that they warp slightly and you get that 'wobble'.

I've seen complete 2nd hand mk4 R32 front setups for £300 on Ebay. Deffo worth it if you don't mind spending the money, they are powerful stoppers

Yea I've been looking for some second hand r32 or leon cupra r sets I will keep looking the car is going to have the brakes bleed next week and then on to the rollers in the mot bay to test them. Cheers guys.
