I used some dual piston calipers from the Audi, and the fit under my 15's with like a quarter inch clearance. These are more braking power than is needed. The pads are much larger than the stock pads, and if you really step into the pedal they will lock the tires up at any speed!
Pros: more braking power
Cons: lock the tires up

On my TT, I did it every 50K miles. Had heard of failures and it seemed like cheap insurance ...
Pros: cheap insurance

Mileage: 80467 km
I wasnt planning on changing mine either when i bought my Audi TT and it had 61k miles on it and was just going to change belt and then at 100k the pump+belt.. when i took the pump off to see if it was plastic impeller style the impeller wasnt even attached to the pump.. it was just free spinning on the shaft.. i to this day have no clue how the car never overheated before that day.. cause i drove the car 2600 miles in 9 days prior to doing the timing belt. ill dig up the link but i posted a link on here of a movie how i could flick the impeller and it spun like 6 revolutions on the shaft without the actual shaft moving...
Pros: impeller free spinning
Cons: impeller not attached

These calipers came off an audi 5000 turbo and each caliper has 2 pistons (dual piston) this means you will get a great amount of breaking force with each pump. These are a GREAT UPGRADE for your track car or daily car without having to spend so much money to get aftermarket brakes.
Pros: great breaking force, great upgrade

the aux water pump is leaking you can do it without taking the intake manifold off thru the driver side rear if the engine shouldnt cost you more than 200 when your all done
Pros: do it without removing intake
Vehicle:

The 337/TT brakes will put a huge smile on your face. Of course, you should also make sure you have hi perf tires as well, or they will overpower your tires. It's a very, very wise upgrade. Get them with HPS pads and SS lines.
Pros: wise upgrade, huge smile
Cons: overpower your tires
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.
Pros: improvement in braking power
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Not true. The maintenance schedule for the belt is 105,000 miles. Many of the pumps with plastic impellers fail before that. The plastic composite seems to age and become brittle after 70k or 80k miles--some sooner and some later. But they do fail. This is what happens:
Cons: plastic pumps fail early
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Mileage: 70000 km
If you want an honest oppinion, do not run these brakes, just get yourself a corrado set up w/ good pads and you will be more than happy.
Cons: heavy
Vehicle:
Audi
