    rear caliper upgrade

    hi all, tried searching but no luck. I've a cupra tdi, I've just upgraded to 312mm disks on the front and I'm now looking to go from 233mm to 256mm on rear. Question is, is it a case like the front of just swapping the carriers, or do you need the caliper aswell? thanks John.
