Title: Seat Leon Cupra brake upgrade
Post by: munster on January 13, 2017, 11:38:44 pm
I'm looking at Leon cupra brakes from a 2013 donor car. 340mm fronts and 310mm rears. Apart from the discs,pads,calipers and dust shields what more do I need.
Assuming I will need the matching caliper carrier brackets and brake lines or will the original brake lines fit?
Thanks

Caliper brackets will be used from your current stock setup. Will need new brake lines.

You can also use r32 or audi s3 brakes. Same as cupra ones :)

Cheers mate, wasn't sure if carriers were different or not. Do you just need to order the S3 / Leon brake lines or are they special order to mate the systems together?
Thanks
