Hey guys, im in need of some new brakes up front, they are warped currently, im not sure if the one on euros will fit, i saw some 256 and 288 ones, would like the bigger one pref. My car is a 1.9 pd100 estate , wondering what my options are as its mapped and would like that extra stopping power to complement the power increase.

 

Wont be swapping calipers unless anyone has a brake setup for sale etc!

 

Thanks!

You'd need to change calipers, and wheel bearing housings I think, to go up to 288mm,

On your current brakes, the carriers are integrated into the wheel bearing housing. The 288mm brakes have a different arrangement with separate, bolt-on carriers. See items 7, 7A  the two types of wheel bearing housing; yours being 7 style I think: https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2004-225/4/407-407010/

The juice ain't worth the squeezin', stick with 256 and buy good quality discs and pads instead.

I have always preferred Brembo discs and pads, I consider them to be OEM+ in terms of quality and consistency.
