Mk5 GTI Brake upgrades

[Jackal]

Hi everyone.
My Mk5 GTI has a stage two power up and suspension work plus a few other mods which help with forward push, but nothing done on the brakes, which work fine until pushed (fade) which is why i'm posting this question. Has anybody done a R32 brake swap to a GTI ? Or is there a better option ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For street use better pads and super dot 4 fluid should be enough.
Hit up GSL Rallysport as a forum sponsor for brake parts.

R32 way too heavy, too much unsprung weight. Try these, exact replacement for oem rotors but much lighter.

Brembo A calipers with rotors to suit. You can go at it as hard as you like, all day long without fade.

Try PB Brakes. They do some nice multi-piston calipers & floating rotors at good prices - about $800/end

If you're on a budget then decent pads like QFM A1RM, new fluid & some top of the range DBA 4000 series rotors will be a big improvement and much cheaper - about $400 per end
