^^^^
Yes.

R32 and S3 rear brakes are the same. I don't know which front brakes you have but when I added my S3 rears (to my AP Racing fronts) the braking balance was immediately felt and braking feels very well planted. It was good before but now even better.

Oh, the stone shields won't fit but you don't really need them.

Use your existing stone guards with a bit of gentle persuasion.  :wink:

....Mine were beyond persuasion - The GTI guards simply wouldn't fit the S3 brakes.
