How much did you pay for the lcr brakes chungster?
I bought an r32 front set with 5kmiles on them for £330. Just need to mess about now and get the calipers painted red.
Anyone know if there are any decent aftermarket brake pads that will fit the r32 brake calipers?

Got the whole lot brand new delivered for £550!



Thats a cracking deal. Will need to get mine sprayed and fitted now :grin:

Might just sell the R brakes and buy these. Would only be saving £150 quid after sorting the calipers out and the cupra ones are brand new

Rears are 286mm, standard fronts are 312mm  :nerd:

So by the looks of things the rears are the same on the cupra as the GTI/ED30  :undecided:

I am very temped by the front brake upgrade,  but will probably wait until I at least need to replace the front pads and then convince SWMBO that pads are very expensive  :lipsrsealed:
