mmmm that seems very cheap to me for 4 discs, pads and wheel bearings unless they have had a masive discount for bulk buying then for me personally id be very wary of the quality. In saying that i may be wrong.

That Appears to be a kit from the same people my brother got his from for his A3 1.8T, & the honda prelude he had before that,

We where very impressed with the quality if that is the same kit, pattern looks the same,

the A3 had a warped hub which we werent aware of symptoms appeared as a warped disc, we put this kit on but after 6000 miles the disc warped again,
the company replaced all 4 discs & pads & apologised for the inconvienience, its was only my disbelieving nature made me check the hub & found that was warped, replaced all at the same time as the new discs & pads an my bro is well happy with them..... even after covering 15K

hope this helps

Volksbits are the seller, and they sell this kit on their website for £160 odd.

It is exactly the same kit that I have on mine (except mine is the 288mm disc).  No issues with it whatsoever so far, but I only have had mine on since January.

It doesn't make your brakes suddenly super awesome, its no better or worse than standard.  But its a good price for all round discs and pads.

You do know it's the 280mm kit listed (so no VR and no 95on GTI's)

You might need the 288mm kit then:
