mirroredone 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Can anyone help? I've got a 'rado 1.8 16v, and am looking at getting brembo brakes, would i need to get the full GT junior Kit (discs, pads, calipers, and new hoses) or can i just use the sport line kit (Discs and pad) and use the standard calipers. would i need to get both front and rear, or can i run standard ones on the rear. can anyone recommend anyother barkes? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted April 15, 2006 If you want Brembo CLaipers, best to get the Seat Ibiza Cupra R setup straight from Seat and then hoses from Bill Badger http://www.badger5.co.uk IIRC they've gone up to silly money now though for the kit about £700 unless someone wants to correct me, but thats claipers, carriers, disks and pads. I paid £400 for them when I got mine - but they've cottoned on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted April 15, 2006 on a valver you could just go for g60 brakes as they are 280mm as opposed to your 256 mm, but yeah sam is right they have gone up since most of us got ours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted April 15, 2006 If ur gna upgrade your brakes, ur best bet is def to go for a G60 brake upgrage. As for the brembos, the whole set up will prob cost the value of the car lol. Ive got brembo cross drilled discs(256mm) on the front and pagid pads all round. I kept stds on the back, but they look turd, shoulda gone all round. They've done me a good service thus far, but i regret having not g60'd them TBH. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirroredone 0 Posted April 15, 2006 cheers, i think i might have to look in to the G60's, the thing is though looking on some sites, it not the much more expensive to go for the brembo max discs, instead of the G60 vented discs, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.A.N.T. 0 Posted May 17, 2006 For the G60 brake conversion, do you need G60 calipers or will the 16v ones fit? I take it you'll need different mounting brackets for them to increase the diameter... Then it's just the 280mm disks & new pads... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sciroccotune 0 Posted May 17, 2006 you need the carriers mainly, 16v callipers will fit on to g60 carriers if you want but you have to shorten the sliders by 2mm (on the hex side). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted May 17, 2006 G60's are your best bet, they are well up to the job /of any 16v and will not give you the same lock up issues that the Ibiza Cupra R ones are famous for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
