I was told I need the rotors and caliper carriers but I am not too sure about this. I know I need the rotor but not too sure about the caliper part. I was told the carriers from the Audi TT but not too positive.

You have to run atleast 16" wheels with TT brakes...

okay,
here is a list of parts that you need
12.3" tt rotors(2)$120 each
1 set of TT caliper carriers$85 each
1 set of VR6 calipers(used is good)
1 set of new banjo fittings to connect brake lines
1 set of custom spacers(I believe that the spacers are needed because TT rotors are seated differently)
1 set of braid brake lines(optional)
4 liters motul dot 5 brake fluid
I priced this out and I could get a set of Willwood 4 pistons with stock rotor for the same price!

All that stuff is correct for the install...I was just looking on www.parts4vws.com and potter has done some updates - one of which is a listing for a TT brake upgrade - same thing you're interested in. Check it out, or better yet, call them to find out the specifics. Good luck. Oh by the way...wilwoods would be awesome too, but I'm pretty sure they have to be rebuilt every year or so. It's all a matter of personal taste - you'll be happy with either setup I'm sure. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

If you already have 11.3" brakes all you need is:
- Audi TT/S3 carriers
- Audi TT/S3/4-motion 12.3" rotors
- New pads
Calipers are the same. Brake lines are the same since you already have 11.3" on the car and the 12.3" kits use the 11.3" caliper setup. No spacers unless you need them for a certain wheel to clear or something - out of the box you should be ok.
