DS2500 fronts
« on: November 16, 2011, 10:13:31 pm »
I'm looking at buying DS2500 pads, and I've run them of a few Subaru's etc with 4 pots obvioulsy, but was happy with them.  Where would be the cheapest place to source them? I am running Stage 2+. and the std brakes are not much use :)

Is anyone running these on the std discs?Thanks

nice :)  And they work well with the standard disc/fluid?  I don't do any track, but have owned the car a few days, and the brakes are dire on a stage 2+.
How much is p&p please?

The answer is here;

Another very popular upgrade and again proven is the oem Cupra / r32 / s3 setup

It was my oem setup. Big impressive looking discs and great stopping power.
I am now running the NQSBBK as its substantially lighter and due to that handling felt improved.

Both great setups  :happy2:

Still reading, it works out to be approx £600 with the refurb and paint :)

Pricey, and unknown condition, bit of a risk.

I'm going to get saving, thanks for the pointer :)

you need the smaller 2.7 calipers for the kit i think
