They are different.
I think the RS comes with the 312mm x 25mm front and 232mm x 9mm rear.

And the Leons have 256mm jobbies on the back.

Not all Leons have the 256mmx22 vented rotor in the back?
I think only the ones with the 20vt motor on up.

What I can't understand is why the 150hp tdi cupra 4 comes with the 256mm in the rear while the normal 150hp tdi only comes with the 232mm rears.

Cos its 4WD i would think, powered wheels need better braking than free rolling ones.

I know one thing, compared to the fronts the rears are pathetically small :p

My 18s make my rear brakes look silly :D

I can hardly see the rear caliper with the 17" with 18's I'd can imagine the Void U see.
