312mm on the GTI/D and 345mm on the R for the fronts. Can't remember what size the rears are, not that they do much.
Same sizes as a mk5 Golf (which is what it is really anyway).

Autocar measures that sort of details. I bet they reviewed the GTI sometime in 2009...

I thought 288mm on the back. Probably wrong though.
