Scirocco R brakes do they fit?
« on: December 06, 2013, 08:41:17 pm »
Wanna upgrade the pony Edition30 brake set up been offered Scirocco R front set up was wondering if there straight bolt on? Or if there the same as S3/R32.

Any advice would be great. :happy2:

Are they the same weight!?  As they seem lighter to me, some how... I used to have 2006 R32 brakes which I sold, and thought they "seemed" heavier...

They are the same. Ran them two kits ago on the vRS. Got another set for the wife's car. The casting on the carrier is slightly different to the r32/cupra carrier.

You can mate them up to the TTS discs to save a couple of kilos per side over the r32 discs.

As previously confirmed they are the same set up as the R32/S3.  I've been running S3 fronts on my vRS for a couple of years and the braking over the standard set up is phenomenal, not to mention aesthetically they look superb.  :happy2:

The lines need to be longer.

Thanks for confirming.

Looking forward to getting rid of these shocking brakes need bigger & better brakes as running stage 2 ATM. :driver:

So my Hel braided brake lines I ordered 2 weeks ago will be useless or can they be made to fit mate?

As long as the lines are for the R32 calipers then they will fit.

The brake lines which came with the brakes didn't fit my car so had to get new ones
