Are they not just the 312mm brakes from the 4motion/ TT?

Either way if you've got everything I think that they'll fit straight on anyway it's the same platform.

Maybe just measure the disc to check man.

Also it is from the 8L (mk1 s3) model too and not the 8P I presume?

Happy days man. Bargain at 20quid. If you find any more send them this way. ;)

Also Nav I'm fairly sure they are just the vag 312. The LCR came with brembo 4pots that are bigger.
