You wanting to upgrade or simply replace the discs??

If replacing go some something half decent like ATE / Pagid from Euro's and spend your money on decent pads

If upgrading then you can fit the 256mm rears but you need callipers and the carriers to fit them

Pagid / Mintex etc

On the Golf I fitted some ebay special discs and pads (256mm though) and they were £45 all in.  Did the job ok  :smiley:

I wouldn't go OTT on the rears as they only do about 20% of the braking.  I'd spend your money on decent stuff for the fronts  :smiley:
