OK, the Mk1 has been out for a while and has a big following, but if you search for aftermarket accessories or upgrades for the Mk2, don't you think there is a severe lack of offerings for our Mk2 ? Even on eBay. Search for brakes, performance parts etc and there's next to nothing for ours.

*LIKE!*

Unfortunately there are not many styling offerings aimed at MKII Fabia owners. Those come only through the likes of Superskoda and Milotec or if you got crazy money therea are stuff on BT. As for mechanical upgrades I believe there are sufficient items.

Theres plenty knocking around.

3 intercoolers available, Pace Products and HG Motorsport and APR, 4 if forge eventually manage to complete theirs.

Diverter valves and blow off valves by forge.

Suspension from eibach, KW, AP, weitec and bilstein.

Brakes that fit the the mk4 Golf platform are a direct fit with the fabia. That means brembos, APs, tarox, ECS kits are all available in sizes and piston variations. Rear disc upgrades available as well.

Remaps from APR, REVO, Shark, MRC, Giac, PTorque and soon Jabba

Intakes from ITG and forge in various iterations.

Anti roll bars from whiteline.

Rear toe shims from whiteline.

Poly bushes available from superpro etc

Exhaust is miltek only right now.

Uprated pistons, rings and rods frim INA

Hybrid turbos from Td and lola

Then there's the generic fit mods that provide good enhancements such as

Oil coolers

spark plugs

Lightweight alloys

Lightweight battery etc etc.

Intercooler spray kits

Water methanol injection

Spacers

Vagoc.co.uk is the best place for 1.4tsi platform tuning right now

I'd be interested in a rear brake mod.

Those rear discs look tiny compared to the front

Exhaust was already developed @ Simons sportexhaust before last summer ;-).

Turbos been available for a long time aswell.

The reardiscs looks small, but they are enough for the car.

Too big brakes creates trouble since they will A.

How will they rust. The rear discs, calipers and carriers are a direct fit from the golf anniversary. The pad area covers the whole disc so no chance of rusting.

I agree you will add weight, but IMO the brakes on this car are crap at any speed over 70mph and after a few heavy braking points. Bigger brakes will improve the car alot, and for me the positives outweigh the negatives. Also if your going for a bigger front brake kit then the rear disc upgrade is a very good idea as it returns the brake bias backwards abit more giving the car that bit more stability under heavy braking.

I thought there was quite a lot of stuff out there for the mkII, other than styling kits.

Maybe you're not looking in the right places... look at the list posted by vRSy above.

Correct. Many thanks for the info.

The pads cover the whole disc, but as the stock brakes is now I see tendencys for rust.

Problem is that the car is too light and the rearbrakes doesn't work hard enough.

I know that people claim that I should fit bigger brakes in the rear, but there is no problems with the brakebalance at all. Tried both autocross and trähus and haven't had probelms with stability.

I do agree as I feel the brakes on my fabia rs fade away too easily.. and get worse when crusing along in higher speeds.. I can only compare them to my previous 206 rc, where you felt the brakes did stop you more agressive rather than on the fabia. Needs bigger brakes/dicss IMO.

but you dont have a big brake kit. If you massively increase your front brakes with say a 6 pot 323mm upgrade or a brembo 4 pot 330mm kit then you have really altered your brake bias and moved the balance towards the front of the car. This makes a car twitchy when man braking. Upgrade the rear discs/calipers but put on normal OEM pads (because the rears wont be as hot as the fronts so no need for uprated pads) and the brake balance/bias will move back towards the OEM point.

If your not having problems then your OK, i guess i use my brakes alot harder.
