View Full Version : Cupra R brakes
What thickness are the 305mm disks used on the 'R'
Also does anyone know all the part numbers of all the bits needed to convert to them like disks, callipers, carriers, pads.
I assume it will bolt straight on in place of the existing 280x22 brakes?
first off they are 305 x 28mm
and available as a kit for around £900
cheap disks and calipers BUT fittings are silly money
there is a couple of R's on ere be worth asking what they are like i suppose ?

so how much are tha calipers then?, if the fittings are silly, they could be made from scratch
discs £42.00 each
calipers £86.00 each
pads £47.00 (set)
mounting plates £21.88 each
all + vat BUT may need to check as the price list i have is 3 months old mind
would you believe the hoses are £95 EACH ?? and the little elbows and fittings run in @ £75 odd some of em :(:(:(
wots this STU project 2 ??? ;) you know where i am lol
Project? what Project?;) lol, put it this way, I have a cunning plan up me sleeve
so
discs are £49 inc vat
calipers are £104 inc vat
mounting plates are £26.52
pads are £57 inc vat
brake hoses are a joke and get them custom made for around £15 each
I make that £446 for a 4pot conversion:)
would the calipers fit onto say 256mm x 20 mm discs or am i dreaming?190 odd quid for brembo calipers mmmmmm:confused:
probably with a modified bracket , but the cost of that would be dearer than a 305 disc anyway ?
SIZE IS EVERYTHING :):)

Can you check availability of these parts Flapper..
I am seriously interested in them.
not the elbows or hydraulic fittings mind.. I can get these myself and save mucho ££.
cheers

presumably you can get different pads like pagid and ebc for the brembos as they are not specific to the cupra r?
Sounds very nice to me!!
Where could we order all these parts from?
Regards,
Carl
If some one could get the "fittings" made up for a sensible price then this could be a useful?

Has anyone actually seen the disks to compare them to the 280mm ones?
I know the 280mm ones are 22mm think, but does the offset look the same?
As I was thinking of trying to use them with standard callipers on spacer brackets done on a CNC machine.
The 280mm callipers will take the 28mm thick disks if you use the thinner pads from the 256mm brakes.

I would be interested in the spacer brackets if you go ahead if i cant stretch to the 4pots:)

Right can i add some more bits to this please?
Daz any chance of the part numbers for the Discs and calipers?
These calipers, there brembo right? are they ally ones? anyone any idea if the hubs are similar to a mk2 golf? if they are then there is a god! :D
Cheers

I would like to check prices on these parts in Sweden, so does anyone have a complete list with all the part numbers? (including the fittings.. just to check).
Anyone know if this kind of swap would be covered by the warranty since they are genuine SEAT parts?
Carl
Hubs are exactly the same as late Golf Mk2 16V/G60 ones, as long as your car allready has 256mm brakes.

Hi Guys.
Brakes on the R are sh1t hot.
I had a shot of Jim@Star's APR chipped Ibiza with Pagid discs and pads on it.
Brakes were absolutely pathetic in comparison :rolleyes:
Look very pricey to me though - but you get what you pay for...
someone called ???? :devil:

Ps. You at this Ibiza launch thing Wednesday night?
I went and ordered the disks today at a main dealer, and will let you all know how I get on with the spacers.
I did phone ATE as I have a trade account, but they told me they will not be making any of those disks due to the limited demand.

Good oh, I await with anticipation;) I can get discs grooved and or X-drilled for very reasonable ££
I didnt think anyone was doing X-drilled 305mm disks?
the company I use will groove or X drill any disc you throw at them;)

Stu,
Any chance of the details for that company. Mate has just gone in and ordered the R brakes for his scirroco/corrado hybrid track car and really wants drilled ( no pleasing some folks! ) so this sounds perfect

Is that who I think it is Stu?
Prices? Drilled and grooved? (each)
cheers
Bill
The company is www.hispecbigbrakes.co.uk
the cost is around £30-40 per pair of discs weather it be grooved, X-drilled or both (combi)
cant say how quickley they can do them as they are churning out 4 & 6pot calipers as fast as they can aswell as other stuff, so any delivery date should be taken with a pinch of salt (they are doing sum discs for our Alhambra which was dropped off in Febuary and we still are waiting for them!) .
just say Stuart sent ya;)
