Leave the standard set up on there bud, just replace with a decent brand of disks and pads..

I think depending on how they look I maygo with the set for 205 as that doesnt seem too bad for the whole lot.

What makes are decent?

What makes of what disc or pad?  what do you mean?

[jnufcuk]

Ye discs and pads as 'new to vw' said get some decent pads and discs so wanted to know what makes are considered good?
 

I did warn you I knew nothing about brakes lol

I've just fitted some Zimmerman ones from GSF, I compared them to their budget brand instore and the difference obvious and was well worth the few extra pounds.

Depends on budget but Mintex and Ferrodo are very good, otherwise just get some Pagid ones from GSF.
