Yes, although you'll need the calipers (you'll also have to bleed the brakes), carriers, discs & pads.  It's an expensive mod & is a bit overkill, IMO, as the turbo is a lot lighter than the R32 (unless you're planning to run 300 + bhp).  Plus, replacement discs are bespoke, IIRC, so therefore will cost a fortune to replace.  You'll also need 18" wheels if you haven't got some already.  (Maybe SOME 17's may fit, but I can't remember).

Best option for your £Â£Ã‚£ would be the 312 set-up (easier upgrade) & spend £120 on some decent pads, such as the amazing Ferodo DS2500's.  :afro:
