you can use either the 2WD or 4x4 Cos with matching calipers, the only difference is the vented discs, or you can use the XR4x4 discs and calipers, they're just a bit smaller

mk5 rs2000 for the rears .... you also need the rear cable from one aswell very easy to fit
you dont need a huge set up or you will be overbraking on the rear.... not a good idea.

yep .. and you might have to remove the connecting part from the cable and swap it with your old one as they can sometimes be a bit too big ... (the curved 'D' shaped bit)..
