I'd like to attend a meet too... providing I can make it. When a date/time has been deceided I'll let you know.

Thanks Joel for some useful information, I now know the calipers & carriers from the Leon Cupra and Octavia VRS fit too. I think I'll be looking at a remap rather than a tuning box and I'll have a trawl through the different suppliers of ARB's to find the best price too !

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look at the technical section, Jim.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Briskoda Forum and from the previous postings I've been viewing, I know I'm asking a question thats been asked more than a few times before. My Fabia vRS drives nicely but I'm not really happy with the brakes, they feel weak and need a lot of pressure at the pedal when driving 'enthusiastically'. Is the conversion to 312mm Audi TT brake discs and calipers straight forward ? How much can I expect to pay for the parts assuming I'll be doing the work myself ? Can I improve the standard set-up by simply changing the pads ? Anyone tried one of those 'tuning boxes' as sold on ebay ? Are they any good, or is a re-map a better route to go ? I'm also considering the rear ARB from Jabba Sport, as there seems to be a lot of body roll when hustling through twisties... Any thoughts ?? Hope your replies will be helpfull, Jim.
