[GMInsite]

Hi everyone looking to change my brakes before i go to the nurburgring next month. Dont need anything special as im not looking to break records or anything. But what size are the disks as the euro car parts shows three different sizes.

I wouldn't bother mate just get standard brakes and discs they are plenty good enough for a 100bhp car I'd save your money for when your at nurberg because its expensive lol

1.6 TDI brakes are the same as the Cupra believe it or not!

I have a remap at the moment so want a little better than standard. The trip to nurburgring isnt costing to much.

Get yourself a 312mm setup - far better.

I can see why the cupra owners with the sports brakes upgrade view it as an essential.. The brakes are good enough for general use on teh 1.6tdi, but I wouldn't want to be hooning about any faster on them

Then I would do your trip on the current brakes and plan the full upgrage after you have toasted the standard setup - haha

Would these fit straight onto a boca ?

Standard set up are already pretty fubard. Only doing four laps of the ring. Wont be doing anything crazy just doing it as its not over priced and to say i have driven it. Ive been there several times but never in my own car.

What do people recommend for £150 or less for disks and pads.

Yes

 

[Jimmy.D90]

I'd go for drilled and grooved standard disc mate with higher temperature pads, I wouldn't go crazy and buy all new brakes, like its been said your car has got the same brake set up on the cupra and on my VRS and they do there job very well in my opinion I've never had brake fade or loss of braking and I've took my old boc on a few track days in England and it did fine.

 

[GMInsite]

Can you recommend anything though mate far to many choices on ebay.

 

[Jimmy.D90]

any drilled and grooved discs are better than standard obviously, not many people rate mintex but I've always had good quality brakes from them, they arnt as good as brembo but it all depends on how much you are willing spent as decent brake discs range up too £200+ I'd stick with standards as every1 says they do there job pretty well

Still not found anything
