ok correct me if i am wrong but we are only talking around 10mm difference in diameter over the
Cupra R's discs.
I used to drive my
Cupra R very hard on the road with a set of pads lasting about 8/10 thousand miles. People generally drive their cars differently to each other and especially when its new
and their own.
Having rallied for 3 years in fords and hill climbed and track day'd Peugeot's for a few years I can honestly say that the R's brakes were very good(bar careless mechanic brake fluid spillage and seizing pad pins) for a heavy car, apart from the cars rearward instability under very heavy braking.
As you said ZBOYD, time will tell-I am sure its far too early to confidently say that the brakes on the new
Cupra are as good if not better that the old ones. New car hysteria and well wishes often takes over during road test only to be re-written once familiarity has settled in.
On a plus point-it would be very good if the new
Cupra's set up is better than the old one
