I like the sound of that. I don't think the standard brakes are to good comparing them to the standard brakes on my mk4 Ibiza cupra tdi the 4 pot Seat sport callipers 312mm discs. The LCR brakes do need upgrading.

MOT passed got an advisory on front brakes of all things lol

370mm kit coming soon

Yep still on springs for now.

I'm actually running the REVO PCV delete simply because I got it a lot cheaper than RRP it simply removes the PCV system which can fail overtime

Sound, I'll keep my eye out for a set of springs, ride height in yours looks pretty decent!!

 

[AndrewJB]

This is what's coming soon

Cars looking brilliant! Sitting at a really nice height too, are they just 30mm sportline springs? Or what springs are they?

H&R cup springs

So today was the day to get rid of them pesky 345mm brakes.. the OEM brakes as standard are very good but mine where knackered due to the amount of stick this car has had as a Press Car including going round Rockingham.

OEM setup


Discs


Complete


Random shots (excuse the dirty wheels)





So what can i say... not really "tested" them yet have a few quick checks and they feel amazing and look totally amazing


Kit
Brembo Gt Senior 4 pot calipers
Brembo Motorsort 370mm 2 piece fully floating rotors
Alloy AKS caliper brackets
HEL braided brake lines with stainless steel fittings.
Textar (Porsche OEM compound) pads (Massive choice of pads when ordering)

They look immense! I'm sure they will stop as good as they look

 

[AndrewJB]

Stop better than they look lol

Very nice brakes, I would love a set of them. Do you know if Alex is making anymore?

2 sets, I'm so tempted to ring and get my name down on a set. Did you get your fit at AKS?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes Alex is one of the only guys i trust to touch the car now he works on cars as if they are his own

 

[KTM540]

Nice brakes mister ... does it do skids ?

 

[AndrewJB]

Oh yes

 

[kevscupra]

Aks is 500miles round trip for me but everybody says such good things about Alex, I'm going to ring Monday and see when I can get booked in.
The brakes look so nice behind your white Cupra R wheels I wonder if they will look as good behind my black ones.
