Hi,

My 2005 Fabia vRS is currently completely standard. I am now considering some upgrades and think I am most likely to start with the brakes.

I have done some track days in previous cars but not in my vRS yet. I feel that the brakes would be a good place to start and help with track performance immensely.

I live in the Nottingham area.

If anyone can give any suggestions on where to go for a good brake upgrade and any indication on costs would be very helpful.

Many thanks

Ian

A search will bring up a lot of posts on this. Most common being the front 312mm's from an audi TT which are often available through ebay for around £300 inc posting. These 'kits' are also often available through the for sale section on this forum.

I'll try a search and see what come up. Thanks

And an ebay link: ebay link

I bought from this seller about two months ago and have been very happy, and I painted with hammerite smooth green, again search for more info!

Thanks again for the info. Need to get some money together first! Just gathering some info at the current time so I know what the options are.

Cheers

Its a mod I want to do soon.

So many mods need doing.

I put mine on last night - only taken me 5 months to get round to it. Easy job, took about an hour. Not tested them out properly but but first signs are good!

KLM - I'll be interested to hear how much difference you think they make.

Have you just changed the front brakes?

I got my TT calipers from the TTshop in bedford for £150 inc carriers then got my discs and pads from a mate who works for VW for £160

My local breakers yard has a few TT's in at the moment... am seeing if i can get a set of brakes off one of them. And as I know the guy who owns the place I should get them at a good price... if not free.!
