Hi, I've done a similar upgrade on my Golf MK2 back in 2012 using 280mm front disks from a Golf mk3 GTI and Audi S3 calipers.
Pros: similar upgrade, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I had a MK3 GTI VR6 that that happened to. I went thru several e-brake cables. Finally figured out the calipers were steel and they would seize up from rust. I swapped them out for some aluminum ones from a MK4 and the problem was solved forever.
Pros: problem solved forever
Cons: calipers seize up from rust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
It's a known problem with knocking brakes on the off rear of B6 passats. To fix, remove the caliper, pull out the top and bottom did pins and half fill with a heavy grease or copper grease into the holes the slide pins slide on, refit and no more noise! Just did mine last week.
Pros: no more noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
i have the audi twin piston caliper/G60 rotor setup in the front of my 16vT GLI. i think theyre great, i can lock up the brakes at 50mph if i want so braking power is def not an issue.
Pros: great braking power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen

i have the same thing on mine, with rear disks & MKIV calipers, it stops on a dime
Pros: stops on a dime
2018 Tiguan w/181k miles...purchased new. Overall the motor has held up no issues other than wiring harness. I never go beyond 10k miles for oil changes and 80k miles for trans oil. I had to replace a rear brake electronic module and a few months later one of the rear calipers.
Pros: motor has held up
Cons: slow get up and go
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 291292 km
I just put the audi 2 piston calipers and SS lines on the front of my 2.0. Also put ATE super blue in. Haven't done ther rear conversion or lines yet. What I have noticed is that the pedal goes further before it starts to clamp, but when it does..... its almost like driving a hummer, if any of you have you know what i mean. Any ideas on the reason for that change?
Pros: abrupt clamp
Cons: pedal goes further
The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.
Cons: weight, not perfect fit
I put a set of GLI calipers & rotors on when someone else upgraded. Really didn't notice a big difference, both in weight or stopping power.
Cons: no big difference
