Dont quote me on this, but I think you should be able to as the GT has the same hubs as the Fabia VRs.
How much are they going to set you back?

the fronts will fit as i have had them on mine before, you will need different caliper carriers for the rears but they will all fit
buying the replacements when they are worn out aint gonna be cheap mind
have ya checked the prices out
if your keeping the car for a while i would go for brembos
the R32 brakes were not that much betta than my TT brakes that are on now

TT/S3 312mm brakes are more than enough. I have the S3 setup on my Ibiza PD130 and it is superb. All you need are the TT/S3 calipers, carriers, discs and pads.
I'm sure Josh_PoloGTI will also agree, since he has this setup on his Fabia vRS.

My S3 setup cost me £87 from eBay
Oh and you don't need to change the rear brakes. The rears only do about 15% of the braking.

hi i was thinking bout doing the same thing! i have a 1.4 16V 100bhp model ive just changed my brake pads i watched the mechanic change them and when he too the caliper off there where these 2 pieces of metal at the edge of the disk so i couldnt see how u could put a bigger disk on with these in the way! any ideas
