Igor:
Really doesn't matter what rotor the TT uses, as far as interchanging with 
your car...
Audi decided to use the VW bolt pattern instead of the Audi pattern, so 
rotors and wheels will not interchange with Audis (except perhaps the A3 
chassis, which is not in the USA).  By all accounts, great brakes on the TT, 
though... in part due to light weight.
I recently purchased some used rims/tires from a person who sold his A4 to 
get a TT; he kept the wheels planning to use them, then was surprised when 
they wouldn't work...fit my 200 superbly, though...
BIRA is researching the use of some Mercedes rotors (right bolt pattern, 
wrong center hub diameter... we'll keep the list posted on successes)
