Urghgh! I'm looking for 345mm.

Good luck with sale, these disks are really good.

Depending on the vehicle, the 5mm may not be an issue.

For example, an upgrade people often do is the TTRS brake setup on an S3/6R. The standard S3/6R front disc is 345mm, but the TTRS is 340mm... however it is a straight fit. You get the added benefit of wear to the disc not creating a ridge along the outer circumference of the disc as the pad contacts the entire 340mm area.

Can you use these with stock calipers?

Difficult to answer without knowing the specific vehicle and current brake setup; and I would probably suggest getting professional advice.

I was just commenting on the general interchangeability of parts across VAG cars sharing the same platform (PQ35, MQB, etc).

Good luck finding anything at the moment, I've even tried importing from the US/UK. EBC, stoptech and ECS all can only assist mid to end August. Even pads were a pain to get. I found these,, But cant get pads, So ended up just going bigger

You mean TTS (8J) calipers, They use the 340mm disks
TTRS has 370mm semi floating disks, The previous gen TTRS/RS3 has 4pot calipers, The current gen has 8 pots. (TTRS and RS3 disk offset differ)

The older model TTS uses the same 345mm disk and caliper setup as the s3/6R

8J TTS calipers are impossible to find, Unless you buy new which costs R12k per caliper, I've tried.

I'm 99% of cases just buying a good disk and pad setup is perfect for these cars (if you can find) Some braided brake lines and good brake fluid. You don't really need bigger brake calipers unless you track your car really hard. Both the TTS and TTRS calipers also add quite a bit of weight. 8KGs I think I weighed, 4 per side

Setups as a whole is interchangeable for the most part, For instance you can fit the whole mk7R brake setup (Calipers, disks etc) onto a mk6 platform car. But you cannot use mk7 disks with mk6 calipers and visa versa.
Can you use these with stock calipers?
These are OEM replacement disks, So yes, They are made to work with stock calipers

But only on cars that have the 340mm disks from factory (mk7R, Clubsport, 8vS3, 8J tts, Some Q2's, Q3's and a few others)

100% yeah I was referring to the 8J TTS. The RS3/TTRS brakes of that gen was an option I had considered for my S3, but getting the parts is quite difficult locally as you don't find too many of these cars being stripped for spares. I ended up getting a Vari full BBK upgrade, 6 pot calipers with 2-piece 360mm floating discs.

What setup are you going with now?

Heeeeyyy... samezies lol Thats why I'm selling these.

I did buy the whole 8pot RS3 setup for a bargain, But it doesn't fit on the S3. The carrier offset on the RS3 is different to the rest of the MQB range, So I had to change the disks to the TTRS disks which has a lower offset to the RS3 disks. and at R34k for new disks that idea promptly went out the window. I would have also had to shave the caliper to fit my 18s with the semi's on.
