Don't think so. I have Coupe carriers but you need the ones from the 80's models.
Audi 80 quattro (83 to 85)
Audi 90 5-cylinder (85 to 87)
Audi Coupe 5-cylinder (85 to 88
Scirocco 16V

Have you looked at evil bay Europe ?


Apparently the dreadful paint on my Rocco is PATINA....

Rockauto.co.uk
Go to Volkswagen>1987>Scirocco>1.8 DOHC>Brakes>Caliper Bracket>Front
It will be A-1 Cardone part number 141610
Will come to about £54 for the pair when you add in UK shipping and VAT.
Enter "3926974235599707" in the "How did you hear about us" box for a 5% discount.
I got mine within a week.

These will be bare carriers with no slider pins or rubbers. Mk2 Golf 16v items are a straight fit - as are the calipers.
