Not the same sorry

Guys,
i am looking for a somewhat cheaper alternative to the standard pog front brakes.
I've heard thats the Polo GTI calipers and rotors are the same as the MK IV GTI's. However, some have said they're different??
Can anyone clarify whether they're indeed the same?
I am looking at the following upgrade.... I am now not sure if it will suit....
Volkswagen Golf IV 1.8T > Braking > Big Brake OEM > ES#411 ECS OEM Big Brake Kit - (TT Carrier, 12.3 One Piece Slotted Rotor) - MK4TTBBKNP-S
Thanks
David

hmm, so i neeed Mk5 GTI Calipers? Would the MK6 brake setup be a straight bolt on?
Mate if you are looking to upgrade for large surface area then look at Audi TT or S3 upgrade, ive done 3 now with good results, only drawback is sourcing the hardware, really good slotted discs and great quality pads are not a problem.

Ok, to point me in the right direction, what year model do i need to look out for? & MKIV/V GTI brakes wouldnt do the trick? I though they were also 312mm?
Thanks alot

Man, i so want that Cup bodykit. Looks so good
MY2008 VW Polo GTi / GIAC Tune / Forge FMIC / Forge 007 DV / N75 Race / BMC OTA / KW V1 Coilovers / Whiteline Front&Rear Swaybars + Toe-In Shim / Weichers Front&Rear Strut Braces / Full Non-Res Milltek Exhaust / 17" Bora Sport
i have a friend with the cup kit on his car. the only drawback is that u have to cut a small section of the lower right mesh to fit the forge intercooler. on the upside, this cut section exposes part of the piping and it makes the car look so much more aggressive. *come mess with me and D.I.E* lol.
sorry for the off topic discussion.
This kit will work for the Polo, because you keep the existing calipers. The TT carriers move them out a bit to clear the larger discs. The Polo calipers may be different to the Mk 4 Golf ones, as Jmac says, but they still bolt up to the TT carriers. I think a few members on here have this fitted already, and I've just ordered one while the Oz dollar is high.
Cheers.
