  1. What is the story on these? They seem to have a following on Seat/Mkv golf forums.
  2. Tomorrow was of course yesterday.....Are these good? Dunlop SP WINTER SPORT 3D 225/45 R17 94V XL with rim protection and I would prefer to get from you if possible..... I have since spoken with someone on the phone and am thinking of the vredstein wintrac 225/45/17 91v which seem better value-and am keen-keener still now on 19th december ( you may have noticed the weather since your last post Tony!!) to have some info and possibly fitting before I go away for xmas.
  3. Tony, So far so good as far as brake balance is concerned -although I have a feeling the issue would not arise in normal road use- most of the brake gurus on the Golf Gti v and seat cupra.net forums suggest that the rears do relatively little and cope perfectly well with upgraded fronts. the issue with my car was that as an auto-dsg it has more need for brakes than the same car with a manual- never mind "using the gears to slow down" it just does not have the same lift off engine braking. As seat only fit bigger brakes on the cupra- with 40 hp more- I figured I would upgrade and so far am pleased- but in this damp and cold weather I am far from using them late or hard!
  4. 225/45/17- Gsd 3's as supplied and fitted by you!
  5. I want some in 225/45/17- My car will do 140 plus but I don't in view of a, the law and b, my desire to live a longer life. Can I use a winter tyre with "H" rating? What tyre should I use until March?
  6. Yep, the effect is that the brake disc is just a rotor or ring bolted on to a light weight centre which is machined so as to place the braking surface to suit the caliper position-7mm from the line of the O/E discs to allow huge calipers to clear the rims. New Old
  7. Thanks for that although with my brakes I need to stick to mt 17"s!! Hopefully Tony can provide a solution.
  8. I find myself considering tyres for this cold and miserable weather- my Eagle Gsd 3s are leaving me with a light show from the Traction control light with even moderate acceleration and a very squirelly feel if I try at all hard. What is available and what do people think?
  9. No we don't supply.... In truth if your in the owners club then they would have more experience on this topic than us, simply because we cannot efficiently focus on every product made for every car, whereas the clubs being type specific can. I have found the answer AP racing 4 pots with Ds2500 pads on 335 rotors and alloy bells- They are more powerful, are fine at low speeds and from cold and save about 4kg each side!

    Chesham again!

    195/50 T1r Toyos- it may reduce roll to lower your Mondeo but it may be that uprated ARBs are a good route?
  11. Tony, Ienclose a forum thread for you to ponder Seat owners need your help! http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=148941

    16" rims do very well 17s are crashy and spoil the feel of the car! lowering does much more good cosmetically to be honest but at 30mm it retains a civilised feel.
