Hey mate,I'm currently I'm the middle of this upgrade myself so I can help a bit.
The carriers I bought from Creations Motorsport- Creationsmotorsport.com,,Porsche->-VAG-Brake-Adapters
The disks I have ordered from a company called Mintbitz(0800 411 8007), I have ordered 330x28mm disks ment for an Alfa Brera,but Mintbitz are redrilling them and making up spigot rings aswell. Braided lines I bought from Badger 5. This little project has nearly cost me a grand now including refurbing the calipers,I better stop on a 2p piece when it's finished! Also,I don't know what wheels your running but check clearance!

Hi, i believe you can use mk4 golf R32 front discs when using these calipers.

Yep but theyre £££!!!

Will do Sean. The calipers are at the paint shop at the moment,and I've just Hammerite'd the pad retaining springs. Just guna have a hunt around the forum for recommended brake fluid and when the disks turn up it's all systems go!
