Bocanegra Brakes

May I ask why dude? The stock brakes are so bad it's painful.. The 312mm set up is a simple and cheap kit Robbie does them on here aka turboboy... One of the best mods I have done
this,
the 312mm non racing brake upgrade is awesome value, it uses the bigger calipers off the leon.
the 312 porsche upgrade uses 4 pot beasty brakes from a carrera and is beast
the 343mm R32 brake upgrade uses mk4 R32 brakes, (robbies got a set cheap atm)
the 323mm LCR brembo upgrade is what i have on mine, and is probably the best brake setup for a boc, i can plant my foot wherever and it will stop. not cheap but so worth it.
all of them are a HUGE upgrade over stock, the 288s are pony, not worth using, just upgrade to any of the above you will not regret it.
Listed by big pete, just wondering if anyone knows how much this would cost, just curious
My 312 Porsche kits are £730 posted or fitted,new everything,discs pads,braided lines freshly powder coated callipers. I'll have my 330mm Porsche kit available pretty soon off my car as I've got rid of the Ibiza. 4 pot brakes are a lot more expensive due to cost to buy and build them.
Single pot 312 with new discs and pads are £260 fitted or posted

The vented 256 rear brake upgrade isn't just for looks. It helps a lot when (fully)braking around a corner, no more rear end shake.

If your "fully braking round a corner" your not driving properly anyway.
On a track I rear upgrade would be worth looking at to keep the car more balanced under heavy braking (in a straight line) and due to them being vented to help cooling..on the road there is no big difference unless your driving is really inappropriate for the road, the gain would be from front brakes.
The 256mm look beefier behind the wheel and it's nice to say I've upgraded the rear brakes to your mates or to impress someone but for the road that's about it. I'm not saying don't get a rear upgrade I'm saying if your on a budget the fronts will give you all the bang for buck you need

I'm into street racing so I'm not driving properly anyway ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
When you're going 160 and you see a light turning red while on a corner you'll see how happy you'll be that you got them and how good they are at keeping the rear from shaking.
They're the best bang for you buck for a rear brake upgrade and they've been since the mk4 days.
600bhp Ibiza's with 8pots fronts and 256 rears swear by them.
Obviously if you have **** brakes you should upgrade the fronts first.
