Brake lines for Cupra R Brembos
« on: 21 December 2013, 23:42 »
Getting my brembos back from refurb and paint and I need brake lines before I can put them. Was going to go braded lines but wanted to know if these are worth getting or what may be the best product to go for? And the direction I can be pointed in to go purchase them :)

Just got my brakes back and well impressed after I've put my stickers on:

Could do with some help on performance braided hoses and pipes if possible?

Also a recommendation of a nice big set of rear brakes?

Can't really find anything that will help me on there really?

Only need the pipes/hoses and was looking for a braided set.

All I got on that link was big brake setups.

Cheers

Ahh I'm with you. Should have been a bit clearer. I meant that would come off a TT/S3 etc.

Not specifically off them 2, they were examples. Just want a bigger set of brakes on the back that I can pick up.

I've just done exactly what you've done. Painted my brembo's blue. Just waiting on stickers. I went for some goodridge phantom braided lines. Your standard lines will be too short on full lock. As for rear brakes, why not go for the leon cupra r ones to match the fronts? The discs are only slightly bigger but theyre vented plus you'll be sticking with an oem bias, albeit for a lcr. No point going too big as your rears only account for about 30% of the total braking effort.
