Its a 1.4 16v.

i'm thinking i need Fabia VRS hubs and hub carriers anything else?

Also are the VRS rear brakes any bigger than the one on teh 1.4?

I think that the rear ones are the same..

as for the 312mm brakes.. hmmm i really dont think its very necessary on a 1.4.. if u have bigger wheels that would be enough.. I have the standard brakes on my 1.4 but with 17" wheels.. the braking is truely awesome and everyone who rides with me gets shocked when i slow down from 140 to 40 or 20 in a very short distance...

The VRS is a lot heavier and when remapped will go a lot quicker hence the popularity of the 312mm upgrade.

You may be better off with a nice set of regular sized slotted and dotted discs and some uprated pads such as greenstuffs or the Ferrodos, I would consider that a much more cost effective upgrade for yourself.

You need the complete outer hub housing for the front (no rear mod possible) and its advisable to putnew bearings in them, rather than remove/refit your old bearings.

That's it. As the 312mm kit comes with the carriers to bolt on totje hub. For non-vRS Fabias, it just adds another £400 odd to the price (assuming brand new outer hub housings and inner bearings)

Which i stll think is not really necessary for a 1.4 .. for that money you can go for a better mod

I already have the brakes on my Audi A4 so i'd only be paying for the VRS bits.

I have a bearing thats just startng rumbling aswell so its an ideal opertunity.

I priced black diamond dics and pads for the 1.4 fabia and nearly died

195 quid for discs and 50 quid for pads..

and what magic makes your 1.4 do 140?

I eventually plan to put a different engine in mine and then itll do 140 and beyond

oh yeah i forgot about those:D

This is the toolage for wheel bearings btw..

Any links to a source and cost for that "toolage", Ross? Its something I'd consider getting for me.

Source? Skoda I guess. Kit is about £300 iirc.

Would a hydraulic bench press do or does it really need the specific tool?

You really need the propper tool as it supports the bearing correctly and makes sure the outer ring (the silver bit that isnt pushed in) sits properly in the hub.

Yup lol
