Help with brake upgrade - Please!

[Freestyle]

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.

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!

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.!
