Bigger rear brakes

[willbatch]

I've just got the LCR brembo set up for the fron of my leon, but need to make the rears 'look the part'. Now i know the easy way to do this is to fit LCR rear brakes, but finding the parts are a joke. Does any one know what over cars these were fitted to, i know the TT and bigger engined golfs had them, but being 4x4 i take it i cant fit them?????

on the same topic, i was thinking about this also.

Could you not get brackets that allow you to fit the front brake combo in the rear? that would save a ton of money

1) Your brake setup would be horribly unbalanced and you'd be locking up the rears all the time

2) The lack of a handbrake would be noticable, especially at MOT time

saudi is quite flat,so he won't need a handbrake.

TT quattro and Golf 4x4 caliper carriers (assuming we're on about 256mm's) just need about 4mm of washers - and longer bolts - to fit on the Leon

I went for the vRS setup on mine simply cos nothing else is red on the Toledo


Word of warning for anyone going this route - you won't get the splash guards to fit without stripping down the trailing arms ... just cut them off mine
