| Quick Question Regarding 312mm Brakes I've just ordered a 312mm brake kit from golfturbo for my Vrs and can't wait to get them on, some decent brake power at last (I hope!). My question is though when I need to buy replacement pads what do I buy them for? Octavia Vrs, Audi TT etc. Many thanks |

2. I would assume you need Audi TT Pads given that this is the source of kit. However I do know that whichever pads you need, you don't need ones with a wear sensor (not sure whether this affects the price or not) as the Fabia vRS does not have this function. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will be along to answer your question more fully and likely provide a part number too EDIT: Ross you're too damn fast | |

| Re: Quick Question Regarding 312mm Brakes Thanks Lummox. Any idea what the best brake fluid to use is too as I'll obviously have to bleed the brakes when I fit the 312's.  |
