Are the audi ones bigger then the standard golf ones where do i get rear calipers from

Audi brakes are 312mm don't know about rears but as everyone says it's only for show nothing to do with braking

It will help but the difference is not as significant as upgrading the fronts simply because the fronts do 70-80% of the braking

Justs to let you know (if you didn't already) the calapers are exactly the same along with the pads for the 312mm discs!Its the carriars that are diffarant. If you say your need new calipers any mk4 GTI 1.8t can be a good doner. Dosn't have to be TT, Anniversary, etc. The carriars some time come up on ebay but i coulden't find a link this time around to show you. This might save you a few quid mate  :smiley:.
