306mm discs, so would be tight under 15"'s if they'd fit at all.
I'm not 100% sure about this but I think they would be better as your current calipers would apply a greater braking force as they are further away from the point at which the wheel spins around.
But then the brake pad contact area is still the same.
For that price can get some 406 Brembo 4 pot calipers!! Would go for these over the ebay ones!

As said can get Brembos off a 406 V6 for that money, although personally Id opt for the GTi6 setup.
Brembos hurt you on the harnesses if you brake hard enough lol.

are they good?
The question is... what are you expecting out of them?
Will you stop quicker?
No
Will it help brake fade?
yes - the big disk will disperse heat quicker and has a higher capacity for heat.
Bigger pads cool quickly.
Will it change the pedal feel?
yes, by moving the caliper further you will require less effort to apply maximum braking effort (though the maximum effort has not changed)
Adverts for brakes give you 'increased performance' without saying what that performance is so you assume its your braking distance, which is incorrect.
