MK4 Brake Upgrades

[Gazb]

yes they fit behind fr wheels

Good stuff. Though I did spot the link to the replica cupra wheels in another thread so new wheels could be on the cards I just need to see how the funds stack up.

i have a TT set upready to fit on the front, just wondering if its possible to put the 288mm standard front set up on the back?

is it a straight swop?

 

[Triple D]

Nope, afraid not matey.

 

[gazjones]

no compltetely different and would make the back end wiggle more than it does, and thats enough as it is

 

[air121005]

damn it!

you see other cars with large rear breaks, wonder why it causes more hassle on an ibiza
thats besides the point that they don't fit anyway!

i had assumed that because i hadn't come across anybody else doing this that it wasn't an easy of worthy project!

Cannot find the golf tubo shop on ebay - anyone got a direct link so I can enquire about brakes!

 

[Ad Lav]

Check the for sale section on here or skoda forum, S3, TT or Octavia VRS breaks all fit iirc

 

[RichieRich]

Has not got back to me on e-mail yet so taking it that he is not around any more - any ideas?

Are you after a set of 312mm carriers? You can pick them up as a pair for just under £100 from vagparts.com

 

[mattcogg1981]

Calipers and discs but discs i could get calipers I cant!

 

[UncleFester]

Unless i'm missing something - the calipers simply reattach to the new carriers, if that's not the case ... i'll have a pair of Leon calipers and the 312mm carriers up for grabs in the very near future

 

[mattcogg1981]

I don't want to sound dumb but if I want to upgrade to 312mm calipers and discs do I need carriers or calipers? What is the difference?

 

[UncleFester]

I don't have an ibiza so you may want to confirm this with someone that does.

I upgraded to 312mm discs a while back but I used the same calipers and pads, just bought new discs and 312mm carriers.

The carriers are what you bolt the calipers to, the carriers then bolt to the hubs on the car.

To upgrade the Leon to 312mm discs all you need are 312mm discs and the right caliper carriers.

Can anyone confirm this who is an ibiza owners as I am not sure what u need to do for the ibiza - thanx uncle fester!

 

[scooby slayer]

will the brembos fit behind cupra wheels

 

[DIFT]

If your talking about the ibiza cupra mk 4 wheels then yes they will. The brembro calipers are smaller than the AP ones.

Hi. Was going to buy a Ibiza, but endet up with a Polo. Its a 04 131hp 6 speed Highline. Will the TT brakes be ok for me? Any hope of them fitting behind the 16" wheels that I have on my car?

The car is on it's way from Germany now..

 

[Ad Lav]

Yes and yes

The TT 312mm fit behind the standard 16's that were on my car.

They didn't do that model over here - we had the 130 tdi pd sport instead.
