i think im going to start searching for some cheap 312mm calipers and carriers then get some fast road pads and combi discs

Probably a good choice, cos I may be wrong, but 323mm LCR pads/calipers/discs may cause you a problem if you don't have 18" rims.

Because of the size of the brakes, they wouldn't fit in the recess of 17" or less rims, which is why LCRs have a full size alloy spare.

Like I said tho, I may be wrong

Ah. Yeah well I've just been informed: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2177439#post2177439 in that thread that I can't change my brakes easily because the carriers are fixed on the 1.6 and 1.4s.

So, I might poke around for some Cupra front hubs etc from a scrapheap, then perform brake upgrade. Mostly inferior **** for now though.

Daz, btw, was it worth getting the cold air feed etc? Does it make any diff? Louder obv.
