    I'd like to upgrade my speakers/tweeters in a Leon Cupra R 2012

    I did more research, standard tweeters are 28mm, there is room for 30mm, if you are not upgrading the radio, front and rear speakers with 50 to 60 rms tops

    Increase in coolant temperature in Leon Cupra R MK2 suspicious

    Which uprated clutch to get

    I had the sachs uprated clutch and it was a nightmare, the clutch pedal was way too hard for my liking, so I put the original clutch, and to my horror, the dual mass fly wheel was in bad shape, I hadn't even done 6000 miles, so a new dual-mass flywheel had to go in, bloody expensive!

    Brake service soon,which brake pads?

    I have a Leon Cupra R Mk2, it comes with front 345mm Brake discs and 286mm Rear brake discs, I have EBC redstuff pads, both front and rear, I'm happy with them, just be careful when they are cold, they take time to heat up, from then on, they are pretty good indeed

I want to notice an improvement over the...
