I believe the Audi dual piston caliper is designed for an 11" rotor. Might work with a 10.1 rotor
but the pads would be hanging off the outside of the rotor.
So, I think the choices are:
10.1 rotors with 16V calipers. You'd want a 22mm MC for that. Either Scirocco 16V or Corrado G60
non-ABS which is the less expensive option.
11" rotors with Corrado calipers. The calipers need an adapter to mount to the A1 hub carrier. This
is a really bigassed brake for a MK I Scirocco and I would think you'd need a yet bigger MC to lower
line pressure so it takes a little bit of effort to lock the front brakes! There is a 25mm Audi
master cylinder that will bolt onto the brake booster, but I don't know model and year off the top
of my head.
11" rotors with Audi dual piston calipers. Well you can't get much bigger. You'd need caliper
adapters and the 25mm master cylinder.
