The braking system on any mk1 or mk2 scirocco is the same as the mk1 Golf, so the same mods will work.

However, if your brakes seem significantly worse than your cabrio, it's always worth making sure the fluid has been changed in the past 2 years and all the flexi hoses, unions rear wheel cylinders and friction materials are in good condition.
