cupra r brembos on cupra

[andy_tratter]

Hi all, thinking of upgrading my brakes to the cupra r brembos but have a few questions:

1) i read on here that they wont fit under the standard cupra 5 spoke wheels due to caliper offsets, but i have a set of seat sport oz's knocking around, so will they fit under that?

2) To do the conversion will i just need discs, calipers and pads (there's no need to change hubs and stuff is there?)

3) do cupra's and cupra r's share the same rear brakes?

4) any one have an idea on hte cost for the discs, calipers and pads?

cheers chaps

thats right they wont find under standard wheels if they r 16" super turismos they will fit im not to sure about the hubs n that but some 1 will confirm it on here.your lookin at close to a grand .

just finding the calipers seems to be a challenge for me. I work for crn products so discs and pads arnt a problem

Even the dealers don't stock the calipers hmmm lol

They wont fit behind the standard 5 spokes and they will only fit under the OZ if they are proper seat sport ones supplied on a cupra r before as they have a different offset to allow for caliper clearance which the normal off the shelf OZ in the same style did not. Think the offset is 35. The dealers can supply the calipers. I think Bill at Badger5 does the best price for Brembos. You need the calipers and carriers and lines aswell as the discs and pads iirc but no need to change hubs. The rear brakes on cupra and cupra r are the same. Cost new for a full set up comes up at about £900 but they do come up second hand for around £500-600 every now and then. They seem to come up on edition38 more often than here. And before you ask yes some other brembo/porsche brakes do fit with abit of work or custom carriers but none of the cheap ones.

Have a word with Badger5 on here, he provides the complete conversion kit.

Theres no certain et that guarantees they will fit over brembos. Your best bet is to check the thread in Bills section as to what fits.

I got the brembo conversion from badger5, not cheap but you get what yopu pay for....4pot power! Go to the trading section and go to badger5's section, then its near the top ish under a sticky called "brembo group buy" come with everything, calipers, carriers, discs, braided brake lines, lock stock the f**kin lot!

 

[JB!]

surely you can just space out the standard wheels 5mm to clear the brembos...

 

[cupramillo]

depends on what alloys you have and there offset. I had to use a 5mm spacer to clear my oz superleggeras

 

[andy_tratter]

cool cheers guys, quite fancy porker calipers too, which may be easier to find then the cupra r ones!

should got in on the GB I sorted with Bill

£800 all in

 

[cupramillo]

Porker ones are exactly the same, all down to badge snobery really

That was a fair while ago...

Gotta be quick with the GB's, only needed 5 people and i think we got 6 in the end. Dead happy with mine, dont know how i ever did any heavy braking with my old standard brakes on ko3s, they are shocking compared to Brembos, especially during high speed braking!

 

[pj1985]

Porker ones arent exactly the same. They are brembos but they are not the same as the ibiza cupra r calipers. Check out edition38 they come up on there quite abit.

 

[cupramillo]

No not identicle but still brembos, just the porcshe decals. I think they do a larger version of the for pots called big reds? or they could be 6pot ones, not sure.

 

[pj1985]

No, not just the porsche decals make them different. There are many many brembo calipers out there some badged brembos and some with other badges and none of them are the same as the ibiza cupra ones. The closest porsche calipers to the ibiza cupra brembos do not just have different decals but are also slightly larger.

i bought all my discs, pads, callipers and carriers all from the main dealer and had them at least 200 quid cheaper than anywhere else ive seen around altho i wish id got badger 5 carriers as they were atleast half the weight of mine
