Some pics of the 312mm setup fitted to my car this weekend.
I bought the discs, calipers, carriers and pads from golfturbo.com (Ebay auction) for £225. Not the cheapest I know but the supplied brakes are, for all intents and purpose, brand spanking new. From an Audi TT 225 shipped direct from Germany. I looked at buying new from VAG dealers and was quoted £400 inc VAT for just the calipers and carriers! The brakes also had the TT hoses with them.
Fitting was straight forward they bolt directly to the hub being a direct swap, I even managed to use the existing hoses. They where a little 'tight' on length but bending the hub bracket for the hose up a little eased fittment.
They are a snug fit under the 16" rims, a small pencil gap exists between the rim and the caliper.
I have bed them in and can say they are a significant step up over the stock 288mm brakes. Well worth doing if you have also had your car mapped!
