Possible Brake Upgrade?

Vista · 19-04-2008, 10:59

Hey-lo,

I've been looking through the search on brake mods/upgrades for the Fabia and the 312mm Audi TT addition seems to be the most popular. As I'm an inquisitive git, I was wondering if anyone has tried fitting brake setups from anything else (VRS_Dave's fantastic Porsche ones are a good example).What about the Audi RS4, VW R32, Octy II vRS etc.

Thinking out loud again

.

Cheers!

yeah thats what im getting 323's i think something diferent from the 312's that most have. you have to have 17s for them though

...and possibly spacers, depending on which 17s you're running with the 323s.

334s may fit from the R32, although it's quite possible you'd need 18s, which isn't a very good option on the Fabia IMO.

I find 312s with a decent combination of disc, pad and fluid is perfectly adequate
