Clubsport S Brake discs & pads - Straight swap?

[Rob2k68 1,286]

The 12 indents are difficult to clean though, I painted mine before fitting and used to keep them sealed. Would probably do them black if doing again.

definitely recommend this mod, they look great, lighter discs than original too

1.1kg lighter each so 2.2kg per car apparently.

Does anyone know the price of the Clubsport S disc’s? Front and rear

I paid 300 for discs and 145 for pads.

Are the pads different to stock R pads?

The pads are indeed different on the clubsport s, can expect slightly higher heat resistance however this will be offset marginally by the R being slightly heavier than their intended use.

 

Also at the same time these are an OEM brake pad so can’t be expected to live with an absolute murdering like a dedicated track pad.

Would you mind expanding the initials rps for me?

My car is a performance pack car. Specced it from new (everything but leather seats and DCC).

 

The discs are in that pack for circa 3k including a lip spoiler (removed and changed to oettinger) and top speed increased (done via tuning anyway) lol. 
 

Discs did 30k miles before they lipped and 2 sets of pads so not to bad. Attached are the new ones I put on about a month ago and photo of the box labels if that helps.

RPS was Retail Parts Specialist a bit of a play on rival TPS but they are no more , the owner Mike now runs Coverdale Car Parts so try here if in UK ….

I need to do this. What fluid are people running if you are going to do the odd track day?

Straight swap

Callipers are the same just the pad covers are different being silver.

Check out my build thread I may have show part numbers when I fitted mine.

Hi

I just got a quote back from the dealer where I bought my car (2018 car, facelift no performance pack) and they told me he wasn’t sure they would fit. The calipers of the performance pack have a different code than my car ( non- performance pack). He also told me there might be a difference in bolts or clearance room for the pads due to different bearings ?  🤔🤷‍♂️ 
This got me starting to doubt.

 

I told him a lot of R owners have made the mod already,he answered ok if you are sure. But he still couldn’t guarantee me they would fit.
After some more chatting he told me the price ! ! 
600 EUR per disc and 270 EUR per brake pad, so around 1600EUR in total without labour !

Is this a normal price these days ?? I know everything is getting more expensive but come on… 

I live in Belgium, but that shouldn’t make such a difference. 
 

Just would like to know for peace of mind that you need no extra’s next to the discs and pads.

Would it be possible to only fit the performance pack/ clubsport s discs and still keep the normal brake pads ?
Actually my discs and pads are still ok, but I do love  the look of the aluminium bells and drilled disc faces. 
 

Maybe someone can recommend a good website to get these  OEM performance pack discs at a normal price ? 
🥴

Thanks for your confirmation! This has convinced me again. Shame my dealer doesn’t have the knowledge … 

any recommendations for a good company/ website in the UK that ships to Belgium ?
