I've managed to do a successful rear disc brake upgrade to my monte and posted it to help others who may wish to do this any questions just ask 

I bought a 2015 seat ibiza rear axle complete with handbrake cables and it was just a bolt on swap tbh all went well any axle from an ibiza or polo fabia or a1 same year should suit . I grabbed a bargain at 90 quid collected I'd add more pics but only let's me add one at a time lol .

I also got a white line rear arb from a mk1 fabia had it powder coated and fit that too , and some h and r springs it's transformed the handling no end 

Do the wheels not sit wider now? I seen another member mentioned that.

When I checked part numbers somthing like 2012+ ibizas arnt comparable with the Fabia platform.

Everything measured up the same for mounting points ie axle bushes and the like handbrake cables were fine and brake pipes in the same place also abs sensors the same  , it is wider track about 15mm each side but that's what I wanted anyway so saved me buying spacers, but I'm not sure how wide the vrs axle is ? 

Looking good this Chris. Can't wait to see it.

Exactly what I found, maybe Hutchy didn't fancy it?

I thought that was the case, the newer facelift ibiza axle is wider than the pre-facelift.

 

I just fitted the right vrs disc axle to my car  even had matching red calipers then

I could have had matching red calipers, but chose to break away from the herd

 

 

Got my 280mm vented rear conversion done 

Are they off the Mk1 Octavia too?

No these are 4wd ones from a tt or s3 mk1 that are 256mm and I got adaptor brackets to make 280 mm use a mk4 golf front discs

Yeah alot sharper braking and handbrake is well good

Looking very nice. Do you have to use the 4wd rear calipers or can you use the 2wd ones?

 

Thanks
