          Check ebay. Co. UK and search for Leon cupra r brakes or audi - sport. Net a few cheap 4 pot brakes come up

              GTI's (and maybe the others you've mentioned) have 288mm brakes. TT's and S3's have 312mm brakes but run the same calipers mounted on larger caliper carriers. Here's some info on the upgrade. You shouldn't need any additional parts if you already have the carriers and the rotors

              R32's have 334mm brakes with twin piston calipers.

                  Ray, I've been in contact with a guy wrecking an S3. If you're after the brake bits, I'll ask for a quote. Dunno if he's willing to split just the carriers though, if that's what you need.

                  Oh, and I found some Porsche 986 front calipers for $400 shipped

                        Might be worth asking someone like ecs tuning or that to see if they can ship them over?
