Hello,

If you are going to upgrade to 8 brakes, and they will actually fit, you might as well put the upgraded calipers that we ourselves upgrade to when we want better than stock, the calipers that are from the CSi (1994-1995) special version of the 8. These calipers are I believe 4 piston in each caliper instead of two, or two instead of one (haven't looked yet myself). You may have to change hubs as well and a few other things but you would end up with brakes that would stop you so fast you would require a racing harness to keep you from going through the windshielf.
Good Luck, Kurt
