The front you can change the calipers to 180 ones with180 discs and aagain 20mm in disc size but the rears you can't easily
Tbh my gti would have been fine on the track with std set up just with alot better pads and discs so for road use I would stay the same performance wise and get some better discs and pads
If you are after looks then 406 brembo calipers with gti 180 discs are good but you will have a lot more travel on the pedal also they squeal
