its an easy swap you will need gti discs and the shorter carrier bolts from a gti but I suggest new ones as well as obviously new pads too.

ABS doesn't affect the calipers its only the hubs

just out of curiosity, would i need a gti hub aswell if i were to upgrade to gti calipers lol, only some guy told me that i would.. dnt think he new wa he was on about tho lmao..
much apreciated
no you wouldnt need a new hub!
its a straight forward swap of the calipers, i did it last weekend - makes such a difference!
just make sure you bleed the drums and calipers properly starting from the back right to left!

if a bolts to long it can be rectified by using certain washers but to be honest i was sure they bolted straight on my gti 180 brakes did
