Is this NQSB Brake setup similar to what is fitted to mk1 Leon Cupra R's?

ie 323mm Vented Discs with Four Pot Brembo's?

Nope, it uses the standard 312mm discs with 4-pot Brembo calipers from the front of a 986 Boxster  :happy2:

Car feels more nimble after fitting NQS BBK.  Performance not evident until they're bedded in and bled again at the end of the week.

Look really small  :signLOL:

The braille hasn't moved an inch after a few days driving.

Quick VCDS scan was counting a missfire on cyl3, bloody chocolate coilpacks  :fighting:

Annoying cause Ive been living out of my car as we're traveling around seeing / staying with family so it's been hard to notice much difference.  Same with the undertray mods.  (having said that damaging the front aero tray on keanos drive had made MPG worse  :confused:  :signLOL:)
