yeah i had the braided lines made up because i am running Audi S3 312 mm up front and the connectons on the caliper are different (dont see point in upgrading brakes and leaving rubber hoses their but theirs ways around it as said already - 288 calipers are the same as the 312mm calipers)

My original brakes were the 280mm as my car is early spec (Aug 1993 model)

if you want to use the mk4 calipers as well you will need some brake lines made up that have mk3 connections on 1 end and mk4 on the other. F17 BAD had some made up by a company called HEL cant remember what he paid now but it was pretty resonable

or just use the spacers on mk3 calipers as said above :)

You only need to change the lines if you are changing from 280s.
288s have the same banjo connection regardless of whether they are Mk4, S3, TT etc.

No they won't.
Some...not all.

They do NOT fit under 16" RXIIs without mods.

However, most single piece 16" wheels that aren't too deep on the dish, should be OK.

I think I would have problem fitting them because of my split rims. I have a 14mm spacer at front.
