discs

If I repeatedly pile on the brakes from 80 or so while driving hard on my little S the brakes start to overheat and get shitty! Is it the discs or pads that are overheating? I think it is the pads glazing over? Would better pads sort me out until I get a Cupra /find a cheap hub + disc and pad...

Hi guys , Can anyone tell which are the best disc's and pads for my LCR grooved drilled plan :confused:? Mine were replaced with grooved b4 i bought it and the rear is wrong direction:confused: Cheers Joe

Ive had alittle search around on here but no real luck in finding an answer to my worry. Im worried about my brakes, I have drilled and grooved discs front and back. Standard pads on the front and yellowstuff pads on the back, When i brake i get a horride grinding noise and the brake pedal...

Hey, I just got my new EBC ultimax discs and DS2500ish pads from Bill and remember reading somewhere (a guide I think) to wipe the discs with white spirit... ...does this need to be done? Im just asking as I am unsure if it may damage the disc if it is not needed!! I suspect it wont...

Why is nothing in life ever simple? :confused::shrug: Went to change the rear discs and pads today and everything from the start seemed to be a nightmare every bolt was so so tight. But the real problem happened when winding the caliper back, ive got the caliper wind back tool (cube) and...

HI all, I have brembos fitted the the Leon FR i have recently bought, and am having problems with my brakes as per my previous post on here. Ive been searching for discs on the internet this morning but the most common disc available for the cupra r brakes is 312mm?? I know i have...

HI all, Recently bought a Leon FR 180 which has had Brembo calipers fitted to the front by the previous owner. Looking through the reciepts he had changed the discs and pads sept 2008 and i bought it march 2009. The previous guy had done very little miles sice these have been fitted but...

I replaced the pads & discs on my Altea this morning, so took some photos while doing it. Here's the process from start to finish. The setup will no doubt be the same as the Golf-Jetta Mk5. First up, the news pads & discs. I priced them from the local motor factors at just over £52 for some...

Hi all Are there any brake discs that have a corrosion-resistant coating, that will prevent (or at least reduce) the amount of corrosion that occurs on the outer edge ? I think that some of the EBC discs come with a black coating, and some images I've seen of Black Diamoind discs look like...

Hi guys. My discs are at the point where they need changing. I just don't find the standard ones good enough, and want some drilled ones, to better handle heat. Problem is that i can't seem to find any? :confused: Brembo don't make discs for the cupra, and i haven't been able to...

As title suggests, How easy? Usual Fitting time if doing by yourself? Tools other bits required? Any guides available? Thanks in advance guys SMlFFY

For the standrd lcr brembo caliper? I'm quickly running out of pennies so nothing silly money.:think:

I need to change the rear discs on my Leon but can't seem to get the pad carrier bolts undone! The pad carrier is held on by two 14mm (IIRC) spline bolts but I just can't shift them. I've had it up on the ramps to try and use a long bar, no room for an air gun, WD40, etc. Has anyone change...

Hi guys, I wanna spruce my brakes up a bit, can't really afford a big brake upgrade, so would need to keep stock calipers. So was wondering would something like Red stuff pads, would the fit in my Leon TDi 110 SE 51-plate stock calipers? If so, which come recommended, as I know from my...

silly question but im due to change me brake disc and was wondering how do i know what size they are? can any body tell me? thx

Alright guys! I've took the dive! :D I've ordered... Ferodo ds2500's and the LAST TWO 312mm carriers in the country from Sere Motors (Northern Ireland - £165 delivered, which I thought was crackin' - thanks Dave!), in order to get shot of the TOTALLY RUBBISH 288mm set up that Seat so...

I agree that ferodos pads and brembo discs are v.good, but what's the next best up if money wasn't a major issue?

does anyone know how much it will cost me to get discs and pads fitted ? just the fitting as i have the pads and discs i have tryed myself to fit them but the bolts are to tight i have twisted a hex key trying

How cheap is that! and yes it is 2 discs and 4 pads! One off special (I think) from *************! Cant give the name just yet until tomor evening, new business, but will post asap. Bargain, absolute bargain!:D
