Default R8 Brakes on a TTS

Hey everyone,
I recently attended the Alipine Volksfair in Helen, Georgia. I had a blast, and managed to snag a set of brakes from an R8 (rotors + calipers) for a great price.

I want to install them on my '16 TTS and wanted to know what I would need to make this possible.

I've heard that R8/RS3/TTRS calipers are the same and that people have been able to bolt TTRS brakes right onto TTS', so my thought is that I'll be able to bolt at least the front calipers right in, but I'm wondering whether I'll be able to do the same for the rears.

A friend of mine anticipates that I'll need adapters to make this dream a reality. We weren't able to find any currently existing adapter kits, so he thinks I'll likely need one custom made. Would appreciate some pointers if anyone knows of a company that either makes, or can make this kind of adapter.

TL;DR:
I bought R8 brakes and want to know what I'll need to install them on my '16 TTS.

Also check your wheels ... I doubt the TTS stock wheels will clear those calipers.

I'm running OZ ultralegerras with 5mm spacers on the front 15mm spacers on the rear, so I think they'll clear the calipers. Going to try fitting them tomorrow.
