Ebay seems to have quite a few people who have s3's and upgraded the brakes. You will need the calipers though to accommodate the thicker disc

Just ordering my rear brakes now and wondered if i need a spacer for the rear? I have orderd discs. golf anni caliper and carriers.
Doeas anyone know what thickness the front discs need to be with a 312mm carrier?? is it 22mm as looking at a set of CRN discs and it doesnt state the thickness of them
Just ordered TTmk1 front/rear discs and a 312mm carrier. Im just confused as to the rears now as im looking at some mk4 golf anni calipers/carriers and im unsure if they bolt straight on. I thought they would of but been told might need a spacer for them to line up
With the rear there are 2 sorts of carrier I believe one that needs spaces to aline the disc and the other dosent.
I fitted aniversary carriers brought from vag parts and cupra R calipers from Big Red, both companies are very helpful. No spacers needed.
I would not go down the 2nd hand route to be honest unless you find a good set cheap, thats covered very few miles, but these tended to go for more than buying new when i was doing my conversion.
Make sure you get some good pads and discs for the front or you are wasting your time.

Cheers for the advice MattFrench i am looking for prices for new anni calipers/carriers (Got a price from Vagparts and waiting on one rom Badger5). Going to be using
FRONT- 312mm CRN grooved discs and ferodo ds2500 pads and 312mm carrier
Rear- 256mm CRN grooved discs and Pagid pads and golf anni caliper/carrier
Going to get some decent brake fluid and steel lines in at some point aswell
Does this sound like a decent set up???

Yep definitely a good setup. I echo what Ollie asked, did you buy the rear calipers and carriers new or second hand?
This is what i'm going for, aparently a very good setup for approx 200BHP on a heavy tdi lump.
I'm not too worried about my rear ones at mo, i'd start using the handbrake in the wrong way.
Dont have the rear calipers/carriers yet as getting new ones hoping to have it all in the next 2weeks then ill post pics and a break down of prices.
Thats what im wanting,around 200bhp from my tdi so thought best to start with the brakes 1st
