Easy retrofit.
But not cheap if you use all new parts. P

The front calipers are much bigger.

There are probably part numbers listed on forums if you search.
The PP GTI  brakes are the same as the Clubsport (non S) and the R (albeit differently painted calipers) and the Leon Cupra.
Somewhere out there someone will have done a retrofit.

If you are going to fit non-OEM brakes (and I mean not OEM for your GTD) then why not fit some proper top of the line third party ones?

Probably no more expensive (VW parts expensive!), same issue with insurance and resale...

Might as well get the best stoppers out there...I would.

Bet with would be cheaper to get a big brake big as you suggested from somewhere like Awesome GTI -https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-brand/racingline-performance/racingline-performance-monoblock-brake-kit-345mm/

All this chat is pretty irrelevant really as Op hasn't said what car its for and what it will be used for  :undecided:

I don't know how that much that lot will cost from VW, but suddenly the extra £1000 for the Performance pack with the brakes and LSD suddenly seems a pretty good deal!  :grin:

There must be loads of R brakes for sale around Brum and Manchester. Get on Ebay and buy some red paint  :undecided:  :tongue:
