Do mk3 adapters/carriers fit the mk4?

not all models. mk4 has better brakes by far.
best get 288mm or later 312mm discs and calipers off v5/v6 model
make sure caliper is complete with carrier though.bolt straight on.

So will this VW Golf brakes (http://www.jdl-brakes.com/vw-golf-mk4.html) - made for Mk4 will fit into Mk3. As far as i understand thaere not many difrences with standard brake. I want to have some fun with my GTI on track, and i need to changed braking pads even without this. I aa thinking that maybe this Alcon brakes would be nice, but maybe You can advice me something more efficient (Shiped from somewhere in EU pls)?
