Hi guys.
so I want to do the brembo 18z brake kit from sf tuning on my Cupra R
Was wondering if anyone has already done this and if you can provide any tips.
the main thing ide love to know if if they fit behind the standard Cupra R 18inch wheels!

cheers
Jo

you will need spacers, minimum rim size with 18z brake caliper is 18 inches
with 17z brake caliper allows 17 inch rim
it is better to replace the brake hoses with braided ones, there are ready-made kits from Creation Motorsport
i don't remember but i think the heat shield for the brakes should be removed
put the adapters, brake calipers, new brake discs, replace the brake hoses, spacers, make sure nothing is touching
bleed the brake calipers starting from the inside first
(if you are thinking of putting big brake calipers in the rear, bleed the rear ones first.)
