Well, not quite.  The VW rotors have 5x100 bolt pattern whereas the Audi
has 5x112.  There are lots of upgrade options for Audis with G60 calipers.
A simple, low cost upgrade would be to go to ATE powerdisc (spiral slotted)
rotors and performance pads, and perhaps braided stainless brake hoses.
It all depends on how much you want to spend.  Otherwise, the sky is the
limit :-).
