the mk4 rears are the same as vr6 i believe i just want similar brake bias front to rear as well as the look factor

Proper brake bias is important. If its wrong then braking turns into hell. Especially at speed. It's bad enough with stock vr6s! The big issue would be that most braking systems are engineered for the car they were originally designed for, so going for mk4, porsche, etc brake systems will just throw things out wildly. Which sucks.

Of course you could just go some kind of sheer madness (alcon, stasis, AP racing), you'd need a brake bias adjuster which is highly illegal on road cars.

Poo eh?

baciscally i agree so therefore im sourcing r32 rears to balance things out plus they are bigger
