Default Break help please!!!!

I have a chance to get calipers and rotors form a 2007 audi a4 for free. Can I put them on my 1998 audi a4? I want to get drilled and slotted rotors so im really interested in the calipers. PLEASE give me some good news....lol. If not any suggestions where to get big rotors cheap (used) please let me know?

Thanks
Michael

Can't help with your fitment query,

But the cheapest big brake upgrade is A8 rotors and TT caliper carriers.
ECS carry a kit I think, or can certainly sell you the carriers and rotors seperately.
You use your existing calipers and pads, but get a larger disk surface area = more efficient heat dissipation = better braking.
I'm sure you can get slotted A8 rotors...
