they are brackets to put larger brake calipers/discs on your mk1. so i can then put larger discs but you cant put any bigger then 288mm.
I really want my golf to have good performance on brakes and suspension, that's why im buying all these parts.

GTI discs are good enough for a Mk1 in my opinion. Unless you want to build a circuit car that needs exceptional braking performance for a long period of time, i'd just use GTI discs. That's what i've put on my Mk1 (it only had GTI discs on the front previously and it's braking performance was quite good).
GTI discs are almost too big for standard 13's. The disc shroud is a tight fit on them.
im guessing if he's using those caliper spacers he'll be using 256's... like std mk3 heritage i think... dont quote me. i've seen this setup before on a mk1 gti.... i guess it was used in that case instead of moving to a later model booster/master cylinder, for originality purposes. in the case where that doesnt matter too much, i also concur the booster/master cyl upgrade to be pertinent.
in osme ways, it could be a nice way to help with brake balance - running 256's on the front with spaced out calipers would help if running the late model booster setup with say... cordy drums on the rear (like me) where you could argue that the drums have too much bite compared with the gti disks and calipers... however i reckon you can overcome most of that just with pad choice

I`d agree with this, Good GTI disks and pads with a bigger booster and master with new pads and fluid. Thats enough for all except very extreme Mk1s.
I have 280mms on the Rocco with Mk2 Calipers and the linkage bar deleted and Late model booster and Master cylinder. Cordoba drums on the rear. The brakes are awesome, which is good cos the car is fast.
