So I'm thinking on fitting the 312mm fronts off an S3 and S3 rears.
So my question is.. is there any difference in the front calipers is it just the carriers I need to change. Or is the S3 calipers bigger?
 
The 312mm caliper is the same as the 288mm caliper, just different carriers.

Ideal. I was hoping this was the case.. I've got a full set of S3 brakes I got off a breaker just hadn't looked at the calipers on the car yet.
The front pads are low so this will be getting done in the next week or so. Also going to see what else I can strip of the S3 before I weigh it in over the weekend.
