Hi there Richardsons, I came to your stand @ GTI Int, and spoke to a very helpful chap ref. my brakes. I have the 210 conversion, and am looking at updating the brakes in the near future.

The chap I spoke to (sorry dont know your name!) Asked me all the details about my car, and then said I would receive an email with price and details etc. Well I did recieve a email, but was very suprised with what it said. It asked me for the size of my standard cupra discs............I would of thought that soemone of Richardsons experience would know better.

This isnt a slagging off, because the help I have received has been good, I was just suprised at the question.

Anyone to comment? Or give me the info I require??

280mm disks are fitted as standard you no doubt know.
There are a few of us trying to get hold of the Brembo 4-pots off the Ibiza Cupra-R and all being well this should work out into a nice little conversion/upgrade. (305x28 disks on R)

If you just wanted less fade and minimal ££ oulay, the Pagid FR5051 pads work well on stock disks and will not fade where standard ones do.

Graham is you man I believe to speak to.

Good guys at RPM tho.
