Hi all I fitted these to my passat and it made a massive difference to the brakes much much better then the std set up now can I do the same to my 2003 a4 ?? Just get some larger carriers new disks and jobs a gooden?

What's the parts list for this conversion as mine are ready for refreshing and I may as well upgrade at the same time

Calliper carriers and new larger disks that's all that's needed but Might as well drop pads in too

What are the calliper carriers from for the 312 discs ? As in what model a4?

3.0 v6 has them as standard
Maybe the 2.5 aswell

ANd some late 1.8T s as well> mine is the Limited Edition and it had 312mm. now it has S4's on it.....

I sold my 312mm brakes for £60 on ebay - somebody got a bargain!

I upgraded to S4 340mm brakes - if budget allows I would hunt a set down, as the difference is night and day compared to the 312mm.

I hope to have some b6 ( 2003 ) calipers and carriers coming soon that should be 312mm, is there a way of telling if i need the 25mm disc / or 28mm disc and same with pads as euro car parts lists different widths for them
