Cupra TDI brakes on to a new Audi A3 Quattro

[devonmikeyboy]

Am i right in thinking that the brakes off my cupra tdi will not fit a new Audi A3 2.0 tdi quattro ?

the caliper and hub part nums are the same basically the same between the 2 applications (guessing the audi has 288mm discs) only the application codes are dissimilar ( ie 6qo for the ibiza and 1ko for the audi )

Thanks mate just remember that i was looking at getting a Brembo 323mm kit of ebay but it said that it fitted the new 05 golf mk5 and audi but not the older golf mark4 and audi. Would be handy if they did fit as both the golf and audio had what looked liked 288mm brakes.

thatll be because the new chasis uses 112mm PCD on the alloys n so brake discs(mounting holes) ur APs should bolt on but youll need "new age" 312mm discs 112mm PCD

Thats the 40 grove tarrox g88 discs up for sale then.

n next on bills shopping list is some subtlety

Do you agree with stoneyford then bill that the calipers will fit ? What brake setup would you recommend if i went for a whole new setup ? Always quite like the sound of a Hispec 6 pot setup.

Not sure why you'd want to fit them anyway? All the A3 Quattro's apart from the 3.2 have the same size brakes as the Cupra at the front.

Standard setup on mine is 312mm vented front and 310mm solid rear.

 

[stoneyfordNI]

aye but the cupra mk4 has AP4 pots clamping onto them

 

[devonmikeyboy]

The brakes on the A3 tdi quattro only looked like about 288mm to me same as the golf 4motion setup that i drove.

288 ha tiny wee things

Thats what i thought.I want 312mm at least and if i go for the S line with 18" wheels i could get a Hispec 355mm six pot conversion.

LOL... nope.. not when G88's are mentioned..
my ibiza came with these fitted as part of the "210" kit... and within the first 1K miles of running in the EBC green shite pads had worn away and the G88's had cracks eminating from the base of most grooves. (sharp edge machining increased stress raisers hence cracking)

More than a few folks have also experienced the same.. so in my book one to avoid. (EBC and Tarox G88)

If 312mm then the diameters ok, but without seeing and measuring the hub I could'nt say offset or lug mounts are going to be the same.
