OEM Big Brake upgrade

[Hedge]

Some of you saw the evidence on Saturday @ Superchips well here are the results.


Yes I know they need cleaning before people say.

Supplied by MatEd30 (cheers fella  ) and fitted by JKM earlier today (thanks guys ).

They are the OEM front brakes from the Mk2 Leon Cupra R.

345mm disc versus the 312mm standard one. Bigger single piston calipers than the originals.

I think for the money they are an excellent option. I doubt I will need any thing more exotic as I don't plan any trackdays, other than for taking photos.
I'm still bedding them in but already the pedal feels firmer, with more bite. As the days progress I will push them a bit more but initial impressions are good.

That was quick getting them fitted  glad i could help mate  they look spot on

Good work! :)

I'm refurbing a set of blue ones I got a few weeks ago, unfortunately the paint in the tin was bright orange!

What did you do with the brake lines?  Did you use the old ones and get rid of the solid lines or use the Leon lines?

[markymark]

They look very tasty Hedge, I need some of them in my life but I think I have spent enough today!

[chungster]

wait till the pads are fully bedded in before you start doing jenson button late braking moves!

mine needed about 100 miles before they really started working!  Was actually worried at first with the new pads....well dodgy.

but bloody fantastic when bedded in and super VFM!  and as you know hedge...i always like a good bargain

They look the biz fella!

Wish I wasn't so skint as they would help me out no end at the Ring in a few weeks!

All sorted, thanks to Mat

Purely for research purposes I tried the pedal a bit harder on the way to work.
These brakes have plenty of feel and are certainly way more capable than I expected.

An excellent 'fast road' upgrade.

Have recently spoke to Bill@Badger5 about Oem Brake Grooving he has offered the below at £25 per disc just looking for opinions

Not on the right disc but you get the Idea
