Brake vent

what size are the rear gti/ed30 set ups?

Could be wrong but are they 312mil 

Rears are 286mm, standard fronts are 312mm 

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

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 

So what happened to no more mods for the ED30 

But it wouldn't be a mod it would purely be a maintenance item

....You might have hit upon what's needed to successfully convince all SWMBO's! - The new (Milltek) exhaust is stainless steel and is preventative maintenance....All 'upgrades' are maintenance items, darling.

Is it me or should TT resize his pics?

Oi - I'm an expert with spanners and hammers, not bloody pixels!

I would suggest seperating the calliper from the piston, remove the 4 * bolts pictured below
 

You don't really want to be separating the caliper halves.  Whilst not relevant on these particular calipers, on opposed piston calipers, they are assembled in a jig to ensure absolute alignment between halves, for the internal fluid passages.


Don't know why the entire caliper aint painted though.  I'm sure that the S3 and R32 calipers are fully painted - though if I'm wrong, just a small slice of humble pie, as I have dodgy guts at the mo!

Looking to do something simalar on mine, although the leon already has open vents.

But those "vents" do NOT supply air to the brakes!    Just like the Golf5, the cooling ducts for the front brakes on the Leon are taken from underneath the front bumper.

Yup, the rear brakes are 286mm, and are identical fit on the GTI, Ed30, LCR and Octy2 vRS (yup, Å koda vRS models now have red calipers, rather than pea green).
