Cupra R Disks and Pads

[SargeantMillar]

Hi all, not sure if I'm in the right forum but I've just recovered from a minor stroke after getting the cost to replace my front and rear pads and disks on my 04 cupra r £650.00

So my question is does anyone know where I can purchase Brembo pads and disks so that i can fit myself and save a bit of dosh.

Thanks

You could try one of the dealers in the parts section as they offer SCN discounts or alternatively try Bill @ badger 5 for non standard parts which many on here say are better than the oe brembos.

German Swedish French (GSF) sell the brembo discs, unsure about the pads but they have pagid pads, will be lots cheaper then the £650 quoted.

here is a link, give them a call http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

Thanks. Will check them out.

Full guide to changing pads and disks on the main pages with photo's will save you a huge chunk of cash and it's very easy to change them both (couple of hours max)

You should be able to get disks for about 240
and the pad for around 110

so 350 + fiitting.

I also would recommend not getting the brembo pads, I recently swapped to Ferodo pads (I think they're DS2500's). Breaking is MUCH better, with very little fade compared to the Brembo pads, only downside seems to be a bit more dust.
