Obviously... I would demand your core back and buy the part from someone
who knows Audis better...

three different rotors on the coupe GT - thin little ones thru 83, thick
little ones on '84, both with 4 x 100 bolt pattern, then 85 on has the
thick "big" ones with 4 x 108 bolts - exactly the same front brakes as
the 4kq.  personally I have a set of thick "big" ones from a 16v
scirocco (4 x 100) on my '82, but let's not confuse the issue any
further...
