I have on mine but some would say it's overkill.

yes it may be over kill, but i just want to make sure it stops when i wont it to. so as long they fit, i will try and get a set.

thanks

Standard 247mm escort discs with wilwoods will be fine, however if you have the right 15" wheels you can get 310mm discs on there i have a set and the look delicious but a tad big

The photo is a bit big.

i have the smallest disk on the front of the mk and they just look a bit small. and the 4 pot cosworth calipers looks nicer and will stop better with them.

The reason people go for wilwood callipers is they save so much weight.

but the cosworth 2wd iron 4 pots could sink a battleship

btw I've got a set of cossie 4 pots (in need of a recon) if anyone wants them
