Default b5 brakes

hey, time to do brakes and was just wondering if there is anyway to run oversized rotors without having to do the full kit, does anyone make an extended caliper mount or will the aftermarket rotors be to wide to fit into the calipers/ not clear rims. If not any suggestions on stock sized cross drilled? BBk are expensive! thanks for the input

I believe I read somewhere that if you use the TT carriers, you can put A8 brakes on an A4.

B5.

Going to a bigger rotor without upgrading the calipers is kinda throwing money away. You'd be better off going with a stock sized full floating rotor and good pads designed for whatever temperature you'll be running them at.

Plus...consider, you'll need to take wheel size into account when upsizing your rotors as well.
