Brake upgrade

[Newbos]

Hi everyone,

I have had my yellow seat ibiza 20VT for a while now and I would like to upgrade my brakes to the brembo setup. My question is how easy is it? Where can i buy them? and how much is it going to cost me?

Bill can you help? as you seem to be the man who can!!!!

cheers

You need to check your wheel clearances. Stock wheels and Brembos don't go sadly.

38mm between rear of the wheel hub face and rear of the wheel spoke is the minimum and 16" Diameter.

If you have enough clearance then they bolt straight on.
Our kit includes hoses/bolts etc etc.

(subject to availability)

The time it takes /difficulty depends on how stiff your bolts are - Mine were a ******* - ended up taking 2 days - in wind and rain. Once the old the bolts were off - easy.

I fitted the caliper before cutting the bolts (you have to shorten some bolts from you existing set up) and offered the wheel up to check clearance between wheels and caliper. My wheels were 35mm and 37mm (bugger) so spacers needed.

Bill does spacers if you need them - plus it gives the car a more aggressive stance.

Would definately recommend them :cheers:

Yer, get em from Bill, they are v.reasonably priced compared to other offering the same.

I would not recommend spacers on the front though. You will need new wheels. Which is 1 reason why I ended up trading in for an R.

Having said that, they are a magnitude better than the stock brakes.
