This brake kit for an LCR any good?

[kenboon]

Just been looking on ebay and came across this disk and brake kit

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAT-LEON-CUP...4QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Has anyone on here tried this kit? I'v searched and found a few people are using the red stuff pads and seem to be happy with them.

Thanks

Have a search for 'EBC' in this forum and read some of the comments... the later ones especially. Also have a look in the Badger 5 forum sponsor section, as Bill ran a trial set of EBC kit on a Leon to see how good it was.

Cheers for the reply
Found alot more info on searching with just EBC. Just happened to spot it on Ebay and thought i'd ask if anyone had actually bought the kit and what it was like. My brakes will need doing within the next 2k i'd say and JBS said that i should change my disks too as they have alot of wear. Will only be using them for road use altho when remapped i would like a bit more under my foot.
Reading on here, grooved front discs and DS2500 front brake pads seem to be the choice of most people. Maybe i should speak to Badger/JBS and see what they think would be the best option for me to take.

Any more info as always would be great

Cheers

Ken

I think you've answered your own question to be honest! Grooved discs and DS pads are a winning combination. I've got standard discs and DS pads and the difference compared to stock is superb. Very good braking, very little fade, very good setup
