Brake upgrade for Bocanegra - Updated 12/01/10

[vRSy]

The Boca/Cupra/FR is fitted with two part 288mm brakes which are the same as the 312mm brakes, so all you need are the carriers and the discs to upgrade to 312mm spec.

you are joking, ive been trawling the net for carriers and calipers.

Ive got 312mm discs already.

Wheres the best place to source the caliper carriers then? cant imagine them being to dear to buy brand new?

 

[Tilley1]

How much them discs cost you vrsy? im desp to upgrade mine before I go stage 2

 

[vRSy]

forget now, but it was less than £100 for the pair. Loads of options on ebay

big brakes i probably a good shout for stage 2 dont fancy paying main stealer prices though. whats the best way to go about it?

 

[vRSy]

have you read any of this thread?

 

[ozzyfizzle]

yeah all of it quick......maybe ill read it again

 

[vRSy]

you can upgrade to the mk4 golf GTI/TT/vRS 312mm discs and only need the caliper carriers to make thm fit

 

[ozzyfizzle]

ok thanks for the summary mate

 

[swampy06]

would the racing brake option fit on the FR with its wheels being different ?, soo how much am i looking at to get it done (just parts wise ?) cheers guys

 

[malaroo978]

Racing brakes dnt fit fr wheels (so I'm told) and you need calipers, carriers, pads and discs to upgrade. The old calipers don't work even with different carriers

That info is incorrect as I found out, see the 312mm warning thread in the FAQ section. You do need the carriers and calipers.

 

[vRSy]

ah right, in that case i hadn't wasted my time trawling the net for the full setup

im thinking of going for the Mk4 R32 twinpot 323mm setup now

techie and EdHorny
Can you please give me some phone, mail, web site address of where I can buy the original SEAT SPORT brake kit?
I live in Israel, and here there isn't no option to add them or buy them, so I would realy like to get them and need to know where to buy out of Israel.
BTW - Do you have thier original factory catalog number?
I own an 2011 cupra (not boc), will i need to replace other parts as well to fit them in? like brake hoses or else? Do they sell those carriers as well or should I get them some how as well?

Thanks in advance

I don't think these fit as they are for the MK5 golf. I think they have to be for the MK4 golf to fit the MK5 Ibiza.
