Leon cupra brakes fitted pics !!
« on: 06 October 2008, 13:38 »
I finally got my leon cupra brakes fitted to my ed30 :evil:. They feel much much better than the stock brakes, they bite well and give more confidence when pushing. They fit easily behing the team dynamics and fill behind the spokes nicely.
Not done a proper road test with them yet, but initial impressions are very good.
All in for £210 is an absolute bargain :grin:.

Yes the ones off ebay. Think they are around £800 from seat but there was a guy offering the full kit on SCN for £555, he can get as many kits as you want as he works for seat parts.
Bacillus, im down at a local revo dealer on friday, can he change the codes with vag com?

If he know how to use VCDS for coding then you should be ok.
