Brakes

[Jamin Berry]

I want better brakes. To be honest i havent done everything to make the ones i have on now perfect. But I want better than what i think they can do!

Now. I need some help. I recently saw some one use some rear calipers off a porsche and paired them up with some discs from a mondeo for the brakes on his lupo.

I have found these:

And i can pick up the mondeo discs easy enough.

But would this work. I am in need of advice.

aren't mondeo's 5 x 108?

I think there's more effective more straight forward mods to do

Like? Concerning bigger, more powerful brakes...

like a 312mm TT setup

 

[m0rk]

just like that with good pads too

mk3 cupra R brakes also.
How big you wanting to go - how much clearance do you have

Wont i have to drill them to be 4x100?

Where is the best place to buy them from?

Where is the kind/best place to get the pre mentioned work done?

What are the best pads to put on the setup?

Is the only other thing i would need are the pads and discs? What discs should i buy since this kit doesnt come with any.

These will fit under my ronals right?

just a set of brembo's of the mk3 do nice.

Yeah those will do the trick.

They'll not fit under the ronal without spacers - how much by I cant say

Disc choice is completly upto you, they can be plain and work well with good pads.

Ill buy some 15mm ones. if they dont fit then, ill put them on the back and buy some bigger ones. How big can i go without damaging the wheel bearings. Take into consideration i drive my car extremly hard.

 

[m0rk]

you probably won't need 15mm spacers... to clear 20VT 5 spokes all I needed were 3mm ones (I think)

There's a set of 312mm TT Brakes on E38 for about £150 at the mo.....

 

[andyj]

here in fact..... and they're only £120

Your asking for trouble if you go above 10mm - will **** up scrubb angles and all the rest of the geo

 

[Jamin Berry]

Will i need new brake lines if i buy the ones off of e38? Where is the best place to get some spacers then? Inst bill over priced?

 

[F2 Stu]

You'll need the tt flexi line an adapt the line where it attaches inside the arch

 

[Jamin Berry]

Where can i buy these adapters?

Ibiza cupra r brakes... 305mm and brembos... get the backets from Seat themselves so you don't need to make custom ones. No need to drill another hole for the discs just old ones off Ibiza Cupra R ones straight back on, no mess

Mind you 312mm do look sweet!!!
