not without serious modification, carrier mountings are different, disc offset all wrong etc.  Biggest option you can fit easily is a set of 280 4 stud calipers n carriers using conversion brackets from the caddy forum.

Another option is the late mk 256mm setup which easy enough to fit.

late mk what?  :grin:

scirooc 16v and early audi 80 carriers are what you need for a bolt on 256 upgrade on a MK1, the bolt spacing on the carriers must be 75mm (MK2/3 are 95mm)

Yes was thinking Audi carriers.
