Brakes

Hello,

anyone know if the audi S3 front brakes are a direct fit on the cupra? I think they are
the same as the TT brakes and they use 312mm disks?

Thanking you

Correct, the TT and S3 share the same callipers and 312mm discs, you'll need braided hoses aswell, and grind a few mm off the carrier.

There are a few threads knocking about on this

So do I get braided hoses for the tt or for the cupra? Or does it matter?

Cheers mate, oh and I take it standard cupra wheels wont clear these?

When i bought my set then sold them on, they came with the orogonal tt braided hoses. Not sure about the wheels.... have you actually searched?

Thanks mate

Right, have read through all that stuff, doesn't look mega hard to be honest and apparantly
they will fit under standard 16's.

But.... in all of those threads talking about tt/s3 brakes all of the pictures show 4 pot calipers??

These are the brakes I have been looking at....

So does this mean that the ones I am looking at are not tt brakes?


Sorry for the q's

They look like TT ones to me. Ive only ever seen them in the stock grey colour, but they look like them same ones.

those look right

but the tt s3 ones aren't 4 pots

these are mine

and after I shaved off a bit of the calliper they fit under my 16" BBS. Just!
