Brakes really easy, straight swap caliipers and discs.

Shocks no need as the XS already has sports suspension.

As Tom says its a straight swap provided you have discs, pads and carriers too
Not really needed for a 112bhp 306 (probably a good few down over the years) just my opinion, but I have a stage 1 hdi and have never felt the need for larger brakes
Look better behind cyclones etc but add more rotating weight

yep, good for replacing knackered old shocks for a fresh OE feel, but make a racecar they do not

No
If your that bothered stick some better pads on the front (much more braking force, much less weight and less money buying, fitting and using the GTI6 ones!)
