What setup are you running? Standard?

In all honesty Pagid stuff will be absolutely fine, don't bother with drilled and grooved discs they're unnecessary and will just wear your pads faster.

You can get mintex all round for sub 100 quid, they're decent brakes with some bite.

Like Dom said drilled/ grooved are pointless on the mk4. They will wear your pads quicker and be more prone to cracking and warping the discs.
