Can you upgrade to larger rotors w/out changing calipers? Stronger calipers w/same rotors?

How much $$$ are we talking here? Would it be cheaper to
Buy 4 piston calipers to use w/my stock size rotors? I got an advertisement in the mail from Blaufernugen, and they are selling replacement 4 piston calipers for $150 each!!!
What to do, what to do? Also, Let's just say that due to something I'm expecting the UPS man to bring any day now, It would be better if my brakes looked a little more, shall we say..."beefier."

I have the A8 rotors with Porsche /Brembo 4 piston calipers.

You every run snow tires? this would be a consideration.Will your spare fir over whatever you do? another thing to think about. Join BIRA. Got to the Perf. Forum and talk to Ranger Bob.
I like the idea of OEM parts so I will always have easy access to parts in case of repairs.
