hi all,

what REAR big brake options are available for the 2008 leon cupra?

I presume I am running the larger 282/285mm solid rear discs, but they are simply not good enough, in terms of looks or sheer size.

I would like 330mm vented REAR discs like off a '15 plate RS4, do audi rear discs bolt/line up straight onto the hubs without an issue?

i know Tom Wrigley Performance does a REAR kit but he wants ~£1200 which i think does not include rear calipers, just 356mm rotors (22mm vented), bells and caliper brackets and bolts.

trouble is RS4 etc have electric handbrake? so thats another problem to contend with....

your help and advice is welcome, thanks in advance.

options look limited, this is one but it's a hefty price.... ebay item number: 401295206091


but then again genuine RS4 pads on their own are £299 - £349

obviously larger diameter would have a performance effect automatically, more so with some proper high end pads

yes fronts are dealt with

rear brakes look crap, like little CDs compared to front 15" rotors

To be fair they're only really on there so you can have a working handbrake :cartman:
I know you can get 310 mm vented VAG rears - think these are used on the equivalent year S3 and R32.

ah right i see, online catalogues say 310mm vented for those cars (rears)

are they just a straight bolt on fitment, audi pcd the same etc?
