280mm G60 discs and Mk2 16v calipers
Apologies if a stupid question, but I currently have the Mk2 16v brake setup with the 256mm discs and audi caliper carriers fitted to my 4-stud Mk1 Gti.
Is it possible to use the G60 280mm discs with my current calipers if i just get hold of the bracket for the calipers, or would i need to change to G60 calipers as well.
Thanks

I'm looking myself. There were some for sale on here, but they are provisionally sold. TSR do a kit (including grooved discs and pads, brackets, bolts, but without calipers) for ?275. Another brake upgrade bigger than 256mm is a Wilwood 4-pot upgrade including discs, but this is in the region of ?600 or so.
So, I'd be just as interested as you to know where you can buy the brackets from!

280mm brackets only - $89 from Canada + VAT + shipping
You'd need to buy G60 discs, calipers and pads.
These guys also do 11" (280mm) disc and 4-pot Wilwood kits, they are out of stock of discs but the price looks good at $720.
TSR do 270mm and 285mm kit which includes brackets, discs and pads (but not calipers) for ?275 inc VAT

These guys do bigger conversions using 4-pot calipers. There's a choice of manufacturers for 4 pot (or even 6 pot) kits, for example Brembo, Wilwood, others
285mm 4-pot ?579.17 + VAT + shipping
300mm 4-pot ?793.17 + VAT + shipping
325mm 4-pot ?854.17 + VAT + shipping

[Quality doesn't show up too well now they've been painted black]
Or if you want to push the boat out, Chris Eyre has had some MK1 brackets made for Wilwood calipers. They take standard 280 discs: http://www.vwmotorsport.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1136
