Which brake pads for 11 plate 2.0 CR TDI FR

[dennis10]

As in title, can anyone tell me definitively which size pads I need for my 2011 2.0 CR TDI FR Leon?

I've looked on all the normal car parts sites, GSF/Euros/Carparts4less - all of them seem to have differing information, which makes it very hard if I want to find some uprated pads.

Pads depend on the disc size. There aren’t any variations of pad shape between the same disc size.

My 2010 CR 170 has 312mm discs on the front with pad part number 3C0698151C

and 255mm discs on the rear with pad part number 1K0698451J

If your car is a 170 too then it should have the same brakes as mine, but check the size of the discs on your car just to be sure. You can look up the part numbers for aftermarket pads from the OE part numbers above.

Cool, thanks for that! Yep we both have the facelift FR 170 it seems, so I'm sure our pads would be the same.

Any particular fast road pads you'd recommend or even just decent standard brands that are decent? Are there any brands I should avoid?

Pagid for road use, for track maybe Ferodo.
