Default Big brakes for the tt?

As we all know, many Audi rear brakes are emberrasingly small. I would like to fix that on my TT but there are no rear big brake kits, only fronts. I know most of the braking os done in the front, but still, I definetly want a brake kit for the rear. So, I was wondering is one could retrofit a kit to fit on the TT. Are there any other cars with very similar brakes? Can I put the front brakes in the rear. Oh yeah, I have quattro. Thanks!!

Default consider brake bias is like..

over 75% front, I wouldn't worry about getting big rear brakes. You won't get much, if any, cost/benefits out of them. Unless you just want the look.

Be happy you have vented rear rotors on the 225TTQ. On the A4, they are solid.

Default You also do not want to lose the rear ...

under hard braking. Too much rear brake bias could cause a handling issue and could be dangerous.
Your best option is the Big red porsche brake kit for the front and then you will not have too much of a braking problem. Make sure it clears the rim.
