if you get the carriers off the Cupra R they are a straight bolt on.
you will need 15mm spacers to clear the wheels ( i tried 12mm and it wasn't enough)

Got everything sorted now, only thing I’m wondering I might have missed is the bolts that mount the carriers to the wheel hub. Do you know if you used the stock polo bolts or did you use Cupra R bolts?

you will need to run spacers on the front to clear the calipers but they are pretty much bolt on (new flexi hoses on the front only thing required)
the rears are 256mm vented aswell and use the correct 2wd carrier rather than the wrong 4wd one.
also you'll enjoy having a stage 3 GTI
I was told by someone to go for the Leon Cupra R brakes, it seems to be the most viable option other than keeping my current brakes and being “extra” careful.
I’ll take a look on fleebay tonight!
And yes I’m extremely excited, got my IS20 sat in the garage begging to be put in the polo! Just need a few more bits then I’ll pull the trigger.
Really appreciate all the effort to sort all this out mate. Ill be gutted if the 4wd callipers wont fit, as ive been told by a few people the carriers would enable them to fit, im fitting them soon so ill pop back here to say if they definitely do fit or notBepis wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:12 pm Making a post for future reference by others. I'll try and collate information about this topic taken from this and other threads regarding brake upgrades for the 6C GTi using parts from other VAG cars.
Post any corrections or extra info and I'll edit the post to add them.
Front brake conversion using mk1(1M) Seat Leon Cupra R, Brembo front brakes you need:
Calipers (left: 1ML615105) (right: 1ML615106)
Carriers (1ML615421)
Hoses
Discs and pads
15mm spacers with factory wheels
Rear vented 256mm conversion you need:
MUST BE FWD. AWD CARRIERS AND CALIPERS WILL NOT FIT
Calipers:
Seat PN:(left: 8N0615423C) (right: 8N0615424C)
Seat painted PN: (left: 1J0615423E) (right: 1J0615424E)
Audi PN: (left: 1J0615423G) (right: 1J0615424H)
Carriers:
Seat and Audi PN: (left: 8N0615425C) (right: 8N0615426C)
Seat Painted PN: (left: 1J0615425E) (right: 1J0615426E)
Discs and pads
From ( AGAIN, MUST BE FWD. AWD CARRIERS AND CALIPERS WILL NOT FIT):
Seat Leon Cupra 1M
Audi TT 8N
Skoda Octavia VRS (can someone confirm the type code?)
Golf 4 Jubilee edition (can someone confirm the type code?)
Any reasons that the part numbers differ between the Seat and Audi part for the rear caliper?
Also if anyone that has fitted either or both upgrades could comment on their experience with them in regards to sourcing parts, fitting them, and how they feel/act compared to stock that'd be great
Below are the sources I used and some part diagrams attached.
Not to take any credit away from those that surfaced this information, I just put what I could find together in a single post for easy reference by others.
