Brembo Brakes on mk3 cupra??

[Undezcupra]

I am looking to buy these brembo's of an Ibiza Cupra R of Ebay and i was wondering if the standard cupra rims would fit over them ok?
And also wether there is much work envolved (eg labour) if i get the full kit?

From changing brakes on other cars, you should be ok if you have a competant mechanical knowledge.
BTW i think if you leave the link, you'll have a number of people from the forums bidding for them also!

As far as i am aware the standard rims don't fit over the brembos, hence the reason that the cupra R had OZ's

Std cupra rims wont clear these.
Cupra-R rims were 7x16 OZ Supertourismo's in ET35 (and skimmed spokes)

minimum wheel clearance of 16" diameter is req'd (easy bit) AND 38mm caliper clearance as per this piccy>> http://badger-5.com/bin/wheel-section-view.gif

Cool thanks alot, Just saved me some money! They can bid all they want! lol as i wont be getting them cuz i need new wheels now! I quite like the standard cupra rims, are there any other brake upgrades that anyone can recommend??

[Undezcupra]

Not sure, Are they as pricey as brembo's? Any ideas of where to get them from?

i knocked that auction up to 150 last night from 99p and still never got highest bidder

i wouldnt be surprised at all if the person that listed it is bidding with another account

so they wont go for under 500

Thats really annoying! I hate ebayers like that! theyre not worth £500, i might go for the willwoods after looking at them on the net! they seem a much better option, plus they will fit behind my standard alloys.

more like £700 new from Bill !

Gone are the days when they were <£500 !!!

I'll start braking flinstone stylee!!

 

[AlphaMale]

OMG! I thought they were like £480 and then jumped to £580.

£700+ ... That's put me right off Brembo! They faded on my Leon and I wasn't impressed! They did brake well ... Not as good as AP Racing brakes though I'm sure.

I think it's about £695 now.

I managed to buy mine on my old Ibiza for £320 2nd hand, whilst they were still £480 new

I wouldn't mind paying £250/£300 If I could sell my brake set up for say £50.

Fade wont be calipers... think about it dude

PADS my man... and fluid...

AP's on mine now x3 the price of the brembo's and they stop no better than the brembo's did.

(why change I hear... to make a 15" wheel fit over the biggest disks I could squeaze in)
