Will Imprezza Brembos fit my Mk4 Cupra?

[Phil MC]

As explained in another thread, my TDi Cupra is without a set of AP Brakes. Does anyone know if this set of 2008 STi Brembo's (Callipers only) will fit with an adaptor?

Cheers for any help,

Phil

You do know that none of the Cupra's have Brembo's don't you?

They are fitted with AP callipers which have "SEAT Sport" decals on them

It'll all depend on the mounting points of the callipers, i.e. the distance between the bolt holes.

OK, not brembo's, but AP brakes (Post edited now).

That asides, the really early models never had them.

It was only when Seat realised that at such a high price-point the Cupras weren't flying off the shelves, and they then kitted them out with the larger 4-pot stoppers.


Anyways, I need to measure the distance between the holes of my existing callipers and compare to the STi Brembo's? Will do.

Probably not. It was better that they have a radial mount so that you can built a proper carrier to install them.

 

[Phil MC]

So I'd be better off looking for some Porsche 996/Boxter S callipers and get some mounting adaptors?

I would do that.

 

[Tall-Paul]

what brakes do you have then?

 

[orange]

It should have 312mm, same as Audi TT.

 

[Phil MC]

what brakes do you have then?

I'll find out and let you know.

I'm just feeling a bit left out that they're not big and red, but the stopping power is fantastic so I'll need to know what callipers and discs I have before I think about changing them .

does anyone know what calipers are needed for my 312mm discs as I only have the discs and carriers?

 

[dancupra]

All UK spec cupra's had the AP seat sport calipers as standard, it was only cupra's in the rest of the world that had standard 312's
You sure yours isnt an import?

In addition to what dancupra said when was yours built?

I got mine in October 2004, which was a couple of months after release and its got the APs. I was under the impression that the brakes were one of the big selling points for the Ibiza (was for me anyway).

 

[Phil MC]

Just had a quick look at the brakes there.

The discs are actually very big, thick and ventilated (I'll take a wheels off and measure them on Thursday).

The callipers have an Audi (four circles) mark, but will try to get a part number off them on Thursday when I get the wheel off.

I'll maybe take a few pictures to see if I can actually track down what brakes are fitted.

Many thanks to all who replied .

I only know that this was one of the first TDi Cupras made and was only used as a show car by Seat themselves. Maybe it was to import spec at the time?

I'm almost certain the discs are 312's (Which would explain why they are so good anyway).

What size discs do the UK spec cars have with their AP Callipers?

 

[Leigh15]

312mm - just with larger callipers

 

[Tall-Paul]

You could always go for a custom setup like my 310mm by 28mm with 4-pot calipers

 

[Phil MC]

I'll need to have a wee look around to see what's out there that'll fit the 17" alloys and 312mm discs. I do like the Bremobo's, but will look at other options including these:

or these to go with the Ovni Yellow body colour?

Like I said, I'll double check what's fitted and take it from there.

I f I change mine (Running on 312mm discs at the moment) I'll let you have them for a good price?
