There arn't any pins holding the pads in on the tt set up, there is the metal wired bit but that holds the caliper in the carrier straight?



yeh 15 quid i think, just the fitting takes hour and a half or summert :(

yeh thats a good price that. Think for 300 quid from the tt shop you can get ebc discs and ferodo ds2500 pads though, thats what i was gonna go for but cupra brakes came up cheap. Ended up part ex'ing the pads and calipers with the tt set-up with brand new redstuff pads and kept the new drilled and grooved discs, ended up costing 100 quid, then 50 fitting. Suppose every cloud has a silver lining haha

yeah not bad mate

well when it gets serviced ill get bushes done...then its save up for brakes...got GF birthday too so will be expensive month as well

think ill either get the brakes set for 225...or try find 2nd hand ones..

got few little things to do first like led side lights and numberplate bulbs...

I will try get one soon, gonna get one of it at stand still and then one at fly by..might try tomorrow lunch time with a mate.

not gonna get uprated clutch or fmic i dont think..too expesnive and i dont think it will be worth it, more wanna sort the look and style out

Sounds good. I took some good fly by vids when I was up at P-Torque....I think I'd get in trouble if I posted them up on here though :lol:

That's exactly what I did with my car, started with styling then moved on to performance. You had a better start with your FR though :)

calipers and carriers are hard bit to find...can get discs and pads quite cheap..

lol yeh I know good luck, you best of buying the whole kit as people say I made the mistake of trying to buy calipers on their own and had to buy new ones. I just set up a poll on what discs and pads to get DS2500 (expensive thou) are what everyone says for pads mixed view on discs. But have just spent alot so guess it will be in a couple of months now.

sounds good...i think i will wait for few months to save up...although i have a big expenses claim this month so could get them then, and get them fitted with my service and bushes

front of front (powerflex) and rear of front (cupra) I think I got that right!, you won't need the front ones doing though I got them done as alot of people on here recommended it for various reasons not cos they are worn. My car was making an awful speaking noise in the wet and has not done it since having all that work done at leas and feel soooo much better.
