You need the bigger caliper carriers, is all.

Probably VAG or scrapper only.

Part No. 857 615 125

off to the scrappers, audi 280mm carriers work, along with vr6 mk3 golfs, passats, seats, just take a tape, measure the size of disc, and if its 280mm and Vag, it will fit. got mine off a audi 80 sport auto. 30£ for the lot, hubs, carriers and calipers. ended up changing the hubs for some 16v ones though cos the audi ones were gash!

Keep an eye on ebay too if you dont want to get your hands dirty- often pop up on there.

be aware though that 280 calipers are wider to make up for the thicker brake disc, you can use the 256 caliper with part worn pads or by grinding the slider pins down a wee bit.
