They should do. They are the same car but the driver has a less powerfull engine. Suspension, trim and everything else to my knowledge is the same.

Still the same. The driver was a poor mans GTI. GTI without the GTI performance. I think everything is interchangeable bar engine components and ancilliaries.
Brakes, trim, interior, running gear etc.

As long as you use 15'' wheels, you can use the braking equipment from a G60. You will need the front hubs and the master cylinder too. As for handling, your shocks may be a little tyred. You can always upgrade when you replace but if upgrading, buy matching sets of springs and shocks. You WILL notice the difference.

To use the calipers and discs from a 16v I think you need to change the hubs. I dont know if the driver will take the 8v barkes and discs without the hub change?
Mk2 8v and 16v.

Always looking for bits!
