Dont see why not, have you got big enough alloys/steels to allow them to sit underneath ok?

No mate, the PD130 , FR and Cupra use different hubs to the lower spec models.

You will need new hubs and possibly drive shafts as the FR has a caliper and a carrier separate, while the FS111 brakes on yours are a complete caliper/carrier all in 1 unit.

Nevermind, Neo knows the answer haha.

Wish I could afford Cupra brakes.. they are MUCH more expensive. Calipers from an Octavia VRS, carriers of a TT mk1, and 312x25mm discs and pads just begging to go on.

tt brakes are good like:

Compared to before:

Shame my old ones wouldnt fit yours nick!

 

[mick-fr]

The AP's? Why are they more expensive?
I take it you have the same problem as this then...

I'd take them back to whoever fitted them for you Scott, the calipers on the wrong side

 

[Scott-o]

i had the ap racing brakes for mine but they are 16cm wide, very limited choice in wheels with them brakes and i wasnt gonna sell my bbs, not a chance! Look on the last few pages of my readers ride, right fook on lol

lol taken from the other side

just been done so thats why it looks dead high

APs have 4-pistons so work better and cost more.

Anyway, those wheels are dirty Scott. Get them cleaned.

 

[Scott-o]

They are a ******* in this weather! Cant wait for summer and a refurb!
