You need an m14 spline tool for the calipers

I'm currently changing my brakes for some r32 ones and have also been sent the wrong pads by euro car parts, proper pissed off, lucky I kept the ones the calipers came with, hardly anything left on them though

You could always OEM discs with an elliptical groove off Bill.

I have DS2500 pads up front, braided hoses and Motul fluid.
OEM rear pads and elliptical grooved rear discs. They stop the car pretty well.

What size discs is yours running?

How much did they set u bsck for fronts? Also have yiu got part number for your ds2500 as the 1st set badger has sent me dont fit mine. The ones i need have a clip on both pads, the ones badgers sent me only hav it on one of the pads.

The discs are the standard 345mm
I'm not sure on the price of the discs as I got the whole lot including rears off Bill. I also got the DS2500's from him but never opened the box as I didn't fit the lot myself.
Just email / call Bill. I'm sure he'll sort it out and give you a price

Does anybody know the part number for pagid pads? Going back to euro to exchange the wrong ones today

Chambers_CUPRA · Apr 19, 2014

Euro shouldn't get it wrong they use the same system I do at GSF.

They a OE look up system and can cross the OE number into there number, so they probably guessed lol

I would stick to standard discs and pads nothing wrong with them at all , unless you are going to track the car.
Try Dave at sere for a good discount

Fair play. Gsf do Vetech (on par with euros pagid) Jurid (which are OE) and brembo.

I used febi discs and pads with goodridge braided hoses from C&R enterprises in Nottingham when I fitted my s3 kit.

Did me a good price too!

That blue ate stuff does nothing more than dye your resovoir. Youre better of sticking with standard VW AG dot 4.

I used it for 2-3 years owning my Ibiza and the bloke I brought it off left the car stood in his garage for 6 years and it wasnt died blue at all.

It's easy for changing all the fluid tho being a different colour to standard dot brake fluid.

MJ · Apr 19, 2014

It dies mk2 Leon and mk5 golf ones. The customers were undecided as to wether they were happy about it or not but they changed back to standard fluid after feeling no difference when they used it.
