Big brakes

[Cammy_]

I'm looking into upgrading my front and rear discs.

I had a search and can find much apart from a thread with disc info and upgrading to cupra brakes etc.

I see few people put Porsche calipers on. What is needed? Also having the cupra r means I have solid rear discs. Can I either change these to vented or even upgrade these to Porsche ones?

Is there anything else I need to look into if I was to go ahead?

Standard cupra calipers are pretty good. Genuine pads and disc are your best choice for a daily driver, good tyres is another thing to look at but if you have deep pockets look here

EBC or ATE PowerDisc pads and disc

Brembo about 2k need spacers to fit, the best possible upgrade

I assume DaveB is the owner of the vagbremtechnic?

I quite like the look of the Porsche calipers. Can you do the same with the rears?

Looks smashing!

Really keen on this kit further on.
