Hello,
What is the best way to go 323mm ?
for example buy TAROX 323 KIT or look for MK1 Leon/S3/TT kit?
Thanks,
Asaf.

mk1 LCR brembo +ds2500 pads+ some nice brembo discs+braided lines + Ate S2000/RBF660 fluid. = best brake setup going.

ive got a full LCR setup on my boc.

MK1 Leon Cupra R Brembo Calipers, Ferrodo DS2500 Pads, Brembo Discs(just my preference), ATs200/RBF660 fluid+ hell braided lines.

Thanks Pete,
For now as I can't find good condition MK1 calipers I think that I will go for the Tarox F2000 discs + Ferrodo DS2500 pads and Hell braided lines.
For now I will stay with the original calipers(CUpra 2016) as I hear that is also a great setup.
What do you say ?
also how do I know which pads will fit my original calipers ?

Thanks Pete, just joined but couldn't find that post. can you send me a link for it ?
ALso Do you think that the original caliper will fit on increased brake disk? 323mm for example ?

Just keep in mind that any oem brake setup is most likely gonna be heavier than a BBK and I know you're into performance.

What do you say about TAROX ? I heard only good things about them...

there expensive, pads are hard to get hold of, and the pistons are smaller than the brembo calipers.

@quicksilver, Post up asking for Brembos and ill tag out resident brake Guru.

I've heard mixed reviews, others say they're great, others that they're bad.
I suggest either Brembo, AP Racing or Stoptech as I have first hand experience and they're all great, on the expensive side but great.
Another thing you can do at least for now is to get better pads like Ferodo DS2500, braided lines and better brake fluid and when you have the money get a BBK.
