I'm sure the calipers are fairly easily available and pads etc. aren't that expensive for them. On the pads, I recommend M1144s. They're great for the road, really enjoying them on mine.

Lemforder stuff I'd recommend as well. Never had any issues on mine with them.

When I rebuilt the suspension, I also refurbed the brake system too. I used the standard HDi stuff, but overhauled it all with new seals and caliper carriers. Initially, I thought it best to upgrade to the GTi6 stuff (I have 2 sets) but after driving the car about 6k I'm of the opinion that the HDi stuff is fine for fast road.
