Brembo 4pot brakes Retrofit (sub 8 performance pack brakes)

[Cupra Ultimate]

ah i see and is it neccesary to code them?
I saw a topic that they have been fitted on a golf mk7 R, and also on a seat leon 1p (https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/356mm-rear-disc-upgrade-on-pq35-platform-cars.471238/)
(https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/vagbremtechnic-rear-brake-kit.9199689/)
but there was nothing about coding in the topic.

There's nothing on coding - because you can't code an option which was never available!
Having great brakes is all about have good braking balance. Overpowering either axle is not good.
Obviously if you are doing other mods which also effect handling/braking balance like stiffer/lower suspension/track day tyres etc.. then you are already beyond the OEM 'safety net'
By fitting 356mm discs you will be increasing the rear axle brake torque, which might make TCS & ABS/EBD less effective? which will be more noticeable in marginal conditions damp/cold/standing water etc.
The car in the post you shared is a track day car - with sticky tyres - I don't know what your goals are?

Thats true.
Nah i just got an 370mm disc set with the 4 pot brembo for the front.
will be fitting them in the weekend. and i was checking for the back. but perhaps i will just leave the rear as it is and just buy zimmerman disc with drilled holes.

by the way for mounting these disc does it matter the turn direction.

The "Sub 8 package" with SHW discs have the same disc and item no for left and right side. Not directional.

I notice a strange wear pattern - looks like the pad is only contacting on the inner and outer edge of the discs?
Hopefully after they are fully bedded it should disappear to a full shinny surface. Something to keep an eye on.

I also put perforated disc in the back from zimmerman.
