LC180 brake size

[Mr Rob]

Hi all, i've got a 2001 leon cupra s 180 and the brake the pad wear limit has come on. I got some replacements from the local car spares but they were the wrong ones. I've lost the receipt now so i was going to get some off VAGparts as i've used them before but i don't know what size the discs are. Can anyone help?

Also i think the handling could do with a bit of work after following a clio172 so what would be a good way to spend up around £4-500? Was thinking renew the shocks and some polly bushes. Don't want to be slamming it but maybe drop it 35mm if it would help.

Am I right in thinking the R's also have 312 ? are they the same discs?

 

[LEE69]

No R's are bigger 323mm iirc.

Upper and lower strut braces, and dogbone mount to tighten up engine movement. ARB upgrades are very popular too.
