Brembo Brakes

[Dan Cupra R]

Ive just recently had my cars front Discs & Pads changed as the old ones were starting to wear.

They were a little worn when I bought the car so this is the first time ive had the brakes in brand new condition.

What a difference it has made, the stopping on it now is amazing!!!

Just thought I'd post this as if there is anybody thinking of a brake upgrade for their cupra I would seriously recomend a Brembo conversion as I find these awesome

im looking into this, as the standard ones are shocking!

Do they fade at all?

To be honest, I didnt notice them fade badly.

Before I changed them the pads were virtually dead & the discs were really worn down, even then the stopping was pretty good except the sound was awful.

But compared to the new brakes & discs there was a huge difference.

Having said this I doubt you would ever let your brakes get as bad as mine were, I know that my brakes will never get in that bad condition again. I know what to look out for now.

I noticed the difference before even driving the car, I could visably see the difference of the new discs just by looking at them on the car.

how much are pads for these and whats the part number as mine need replacing

Pad's are around £70.00, discs around £100.00. The brakes ate ten times better than the standard 280mm's however you can get them to fade... just like any other brakes, it just takes a lot more work to make them go.

The standard brakes would have cooked, warped and have no stopping power at all before the Brembo's would fade.

I just payed £355 for new discs, pads & brake fluid. Price also included new wipers on the front so i'd imagine about £320 for the lot.

Pricey but, what a difference its made
