A few months into ownership now and I am still really enjoying the car and very happy with the upgrade   :smiley:

No real big plans still apart from looking at a set of Clubsport S brake discs, so that will probably be the only thing I do in the near future.

If I wanted lighter discs I'd go for the Brembo Sport for TTS. Much cheaper.

Another good value lightweight option is the two piece 345mm discs from Mtec.

Here you go - www.mtecbrakes.com/2-piece-brake-discs/seat-leon-345mm-front-discs-mtec7009-349-99.html
Ta. I was looking at cars that use the 340mm disc, as per Performance Pack.

So I assume these wouldn't work with the PP/Clubsport caliper, but might be an option for the older R32 caliper. Lists the weight at 10kg though... which isn't much less than a normal 340mm disc - which works fine with the old caliper.

There's a VBT two piece 340mm disc available for a similar price. Same as the one the Clubsport S used putting those times in at the Ring IIRC. Which I'd bet is less than 10kg.

I'd take that 10kg figure with a pinch of salt. Not only is it far higher than other two piece discs out there, often of larger diameters and thicknesses, but also as they quoted me 8kg when I queried.

Fair enough, but unless I'm missing something a 345mm disc (as in the old S3/R32 setup) won't work with the PP/Clubsport/7R/8v S3 caliper.
