You would need at least 18" wheels for the above.
It would be more cost effective to look at maybe a TT or a S3 for your brakes. As these are likely to be a direct fit and second hand parts in good supply.
Anything is possible its just a question of money..!!

Just order a Brembo set from a Leon Cupra R,very good brakes....
It's plug and play....(atleast 18 inch wheels ofcourse)
(I know, i have them too)

But they are tiny compared to the ECS kit
(Brembo far right, ECS V far left
)

Picture shows the difference between the 2pot, 4pot and the 6 pot. All are made by Brembo and all would improve the braking on a golf Tdi. You pays your money and takes your chance. I have 6 pots on my RS4 and before that I had 4 pots on my old modded S3 and they were outstanding. The golf is a fair bit lighter and bearing in mind its more modest performance, I would suggest the smaller Seat type would be a pretty cost effective option.
