go for a front 280mm setup found on G60 golfs and corrado's

u need the calipers, carriers & hubs (along with disc's n pads)

its a straight swap, coupled together with braided hoses and you'll be stopping a hell of a lot quicker

280mm setup will run with 15" wheels

rears are std on them all, so just fit the braided hoses to the rears

the rears only apply about 20% of the braking force so braided hoses is enough to beef them up - just get a decent set of pads for them
