Hey all mentioned a few weeks ago that I was getting these for the 30 :jumpmove: I'm after some info about parts I need to get them to fit the car. I've been told from my mate that I need adapter plates?! And I'm also after r32 disc's or s3 discs to go with them Other than Ebay where else would be best to get these bits e.g Euro carparts??
There off a Porsche 997 and are in good condition with new pads and will be rubbed down and painted red with new decals added too 8)

Just had a read at that post :surprised: Think I may be cheaper buying r32 brakes instead?! Any 1 got any suggestions I've heard buying the cupra r 1's from Seat are cheaper even though they are the same as r32's
Thanks Toast

mat was doing the R32 set up for about £500 iirc

^^^ I think it came out to more like £600 in the end.
Still very tempting :happy2:

Was that brand new discs and calipers?? :drool:
I yearn for better braking methods :driver:

Yep its the full front kit all inclusive and the calipers already the correct colour.

Its bizzare but i compared the Seat brakes to the R32 ones bearing in mind they are the same items but they differ in price for the same item i.e. the caliper from vw is dearer from seat. I posted up a cost comparison on ukmkivs once.
-
Think I may be contacting matt in the next couple of weeks :wink: Are the pads on the ed30 different from the 32 1's and is there any other parts interchangeable e.g would I get away with just buying the disc's and calipers?

yeh and the seller also just wrote this there have been 2 SEAT price updates since December and I havent had a chance to amend the prices listed
so looks like cost will be more than the £550 anyway

toast, if you read my post about the boxter 4POTs then drop the guy an email that tony_danza recomended me to do. he knows EVERYTHING to do with brakes, the porsche ones you have may not cost as much as the boxter ones i bid on :happy2:
