Are you sure the discs are VW GTi rears? I've never heard of vented discs being used on the rear of a Golf. Surely they would be a waste of time? Front wheel drive cars hardly use any rear braking which is why thety are always rusting up. When I used to brake test cars for a living some cars (mainly Citroen Saxo) might as well have had the rear brakes disconnected the limiters were so high. Only exceptionally powerful cars require vented all round.
