Title: R32/S3 brakes
Post by: vRS_Pagey on January 15, 2011, 11:01:07 am

Whilst browsing the bay I come across these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230574013051 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230574013051). I would appreciate any opinions, my first concern was the condition and also the fact the calipers aren't blue?!
But I'm no expect, hence the post!
By the way, I got first dibs.  :happy2:

They are from a MK2 TT 3.2V6.  The TT came with the calipers unpainted.

Love the look of the discs with the soft pad grinding marks still on them!

ive just done my fronts, bought all the bits new from a SEAT dealer. If you need advice on parts etc i will give you a full list. Hope this helps (the ones on ebay look rough, wouldnt bother with the discs at all)

Mmmmmm, that is exactly why I asked the 'experts'.....................I have emailed the seller for further details, and regarding the unpainted calipers, his response was: "they are only blue when boy racers paint them, aren't they"  :stupid:

R32 are blue calipers/ S3 are black/ Cupra R including K1 are red.....as BDMalex said the TT ones were unpainted apparently all use the same ATE caliper combined with the 345mm front disc, the Cupra R and K1 have same rears as Gti/Edition 30 iirc
