    Big Front Brakes (312mm) on a 97 1.8t Sport

    Hi, has anyone changed their front Brakes to 312mm (same size as 225 TT). I have heard that you can use tt caliper carriers together with discs off an A8 (not sure of which year). Does anyone know if this is correct ?. Also, does anyone know if the A4 1.8 T quattro uses the 312mm set up ? Thanks
