Hello mate,
If you want to put bigger discs on? You will need to change calipers & carriers which can be very expensive! Also if you went for lcr brembos you would have to considers spacers or even new wheels.
On your standard discs, vag's are a pain, size wise. They could be 256, 280 or 288. Best to take a wheel off & try an get a rough measurement.
Hope that helps.

ooeeefff sounds like i just need to stick with replacing it with the same sized discs, i wanna get some grooved and vented, can you give some suggestions or links of which ones to get?
Yeah that's not a bad idea, been toying with that idea, once mine need replacing. Friend of mine had a bad experience with eBay specials, so would stay away from them. I had ebc in the past, which I thought were really good. Can get then for reasonable money from eBay. I work for euro car parts & we sell them.
Try a search on here, in sure people would of discussed quality & price etc.
can you sent me a link for the ebc discs for my leon 1.6 which are vented and grooved please? thanks
1.6 Leons should have 256mm disks and FS-III calipers. Changing calipers will mean changing the hubs, the caliper carriers are integral.
I was wondering this for my car? On ECP, they sell the different size discs for the TDi 130 SE. I have no idea, short of taking a wheel off and measuring. However, does anyone know, off the top of their head?
I don't carry a disk on the top of my head 
I *think* the TDI 130's have the same fit as the 150's, 288mm disks and FN3 calipers. They won't be 312mm as standard. An easy upgrade to 312 though, by changing the caliper carrier and fitting the larger disks.
An easy way to tell is to look at the calipers and see if they are attached directly to the hub, or if there is a separate carrier bolted to the hub, to which the calipers are then attached. If there is no separate carrier, then you have FS-III calipers and 256mm disks.
