Also what width are the cupra r wheels is it 8j? and i didnt know if the 225 had 323mm discs or if that is an option to upgrade disc size with out having to move the caliper. as there seems to be two disc size floating around. just asking as i will be upgrading to cupra r brakes on my cupra when i get it. Cant afford a R even thou the insurance for a 210 LCR is the same as the 180bhp cupra

I can't remember off the top of my head mate. I don't know it as well as my old Pug I'll get there though as I upgrade it. I'm using 225/40/18's on mine with no stretch. Insurance for my LCR225 is £600 but that's because I'm old and drive like a granny (honest!) New rear brakes will be going on this Saturday, with a bit of a B Road Blast to the West Coast

We sorted the rear brakes yesterday Very Happy

We also figured that the wheel bolts undoing themselves at speed was due to the Powercoating preventing proper contact between the Wheels and Bolt Seats, we removed this and I've spent today out on a "spirited" drive and everything's tight Very Happy

Fuel of Champions! (Or Chumpians?!), work shouldn't start without on, especially on a Saturday! Laughing

Techie sorting out my wheel loosening issue. Removing powdercoating from the Bolt Seats

Caliper Piston being wound back in

Old Discs to come off

New Rear Pads

New Rear Disc

All done, nice, new and shiny Very Happy

Getting the Car back onto the ground and off the ramps is always a challenge Laughing

Also lowered the front a little more Very Happy

Cheers for doing the work Techie, much appreciated Very Happy

Next up... Blueflame 3" Turbo back system Twisted Evil

Lodey... Mine are the 323mm discs Very Happy

Nah, the front discs are from Badger 5, as are the front pads. The rears are OEM from a mate of mine at a SEAT Dealer.

It's a bugger to get onto mate, we've got blocks of wood, jacks and carpet tiles to give us enough clearence to get the arms of the ramp underneath I'm toying with getting a Full Blueflame Exhaust system fitted before FCS, just need the spare £1000 to get it. Got it sitting there so tempted

But not for long...you not tempted to spray some silver hammerite on the vents and hub part? It lasts forever and doesn't burn off. Keeps them looking brand new. Otherwise they rust straight away.

I did mine and the ones on the wifes car before fitting, did about 3 coats and on both cars they are still immaculate. Looking forward to doing them on the Jetta now...it's well worth it. Who wants new brakes looking old?

I just changed mine and did them black as I had no silver on me and it was a last minute thing when the car was in bits. Looks good when kept nice and clean I think!

After fcs (maybe before if I can be arsed) the calipers on the front will be silver with black brembo decals, rears will be done in silver and that'll be it. More into driving it than tarting it up if I'm honest

Evidently, with the choice of wheel colour!
