Hi from a new comer.
Wanting to buy a 4X4 Seat Leon 1.8T, I think to change the front brakes, but I don"t know what brand and (or) size to choose.
I have seen in the net KAD, TAR-OX, APR, PORCHE, with sizes from 330mm x28 mm, to 332mm x 32mm grooved .
1. Can somebody "tell" me something about the above brands taking into account price and quality?
2.What size maximum will fit under the 17" wheels?
Theodore

You've got alot of choices:
Brembo, AP, Wilwood, etc. Some companies make kit's with porsche brakes etc. 330 requires an 18" wheels.

What size brakes does the car come with?

If it only has the 288mm brakes you can very easily do the 312mm brakes as on the Cupra, or why not use the Leon R Brembos.
