Can anyone help? Are calipers with 312mm discs any different or are the discs and carriers only different?

Just get a set of TT 225 calipers and carriers, either get reconditioned ones or some from a breakers yard. I've got them on mine and hold up perfectly both on the road and track..

Don't think so mate, sure its just the 225 cupra r's

I got a set of 312mm fronts and 256mm rears from a Octavia Vrs for a good price then got them refurbished by bigg red.
