Question guys I'm Thinking about upgrading my brakes to the 4 pot brembos, do I need the reservoirs? And would the front old calipers fit on the back?

Front callipers won't fit the back. They won't have the handbrake mechanism either.

Not sure about the Brembo's though, I think people run the with the gti master cylinder but not sure.

I was thinking about drilled and vented discs anyways and better pads. But that's for the advice!
