I only have 4 short ones, so they will have to do for now. I took long ones off the rear though, so you may be right.

If I could I definitely would in your position. Will save a fair bit of weight and unnecessary complexity, especially if running larger calipers up front!
Is the ABS really that bad in these cars? See I bought all new lines but they were ABS lines, so I'm not going to go buy a whole new set of Non ABS lines again. I will have to stick to the ABS!
I also have a set of Brembos for the front. What are the implications of bigger front calipers with ABS still installed?
On a side note, I was reading a thread on here about larger calipers on a GTIR, I read a comment that Peugeot 406 Brembos were a good fit

I went down the line of 406 V6 Brembos, they don't fit that well at all, when I dropped them to the engineering company to make me brackets, rather than inform me there were fitting issues, he had to skim the hub mounting points and also skim the mounting points on the calipers.
If I was doing this again, I would get Radial mount calipers, such as Porsche or Renault Megane sport calipers.
