Joined the V8 disc upgrade club today, finally got chance to fit them and very pleased with the results, should be even better when they are bedded in.
Upgrade is well worth doing imho.

The list of bits to fit the D3 is getting longer
Lower front arms with super pro bushes
HPFP belt and idler
V8 discs front and rear
Replace radiator expansion bottle
Fluids and filters
But no tow bar on the Golf means no gardening business for SWMBO, fitting the bar means she can go out and earn Altox GSM FBH controller thread

It's a good list, but never been convinced about the bushes.
The V8 upgrade is something all owners should do when new discs are due.
Really like my D4 brakes too - the D3 owners have a treat in store when they upgrade.
