opinions please on what i should do about the brakes on my ibiza tdi, they are 256mm which is what it came with, but by mid next year im going to be pushing for 180+bhp would adisc and pad upgrade suffice (its going to be stripped so less weight to stop) or should i be thinking about 312mm audi tt brakes? considering all this work is being done for track fun! cheers for any input

need fr hubs at £200, ive seen full kits for about £260 but these were 2nd hand, not sure on new price yet but i presume about 500-600 should be enough.

what year is the ibiza? Is it 4 or 5 stud?
Why not just go for the cupra r 4 pots or mk4 golf 312mm set up as i though that it was a straight swap?

its 5 stud so the cupra brembos will fit, i need the hubs aswell for mine as they are different, does seem like an obvious route to go down though, i think al get a quote!

excuse my ignorance, but if the doner car is 5 stud and your's is 5 stud then why do you have to change your hubs?

Calipers etc usually go cheaper on the second hand market aswell, as people don't tend to look for them

to be honest im not sure, but there is something about mine (100pd) which is different to the fr and cupra, i have been told by more than one person so can only presume that its not just rubbish.
