i've got discs on the back of mine purely so that i can run a hydraulic handbrake that actually works incredibly well.
Like Alex/hayesey have said though, there is very little normal performance enhancement though, easier to maintain etc but you will need:
a bigger master cylinder from a Sharan or a Transporter - otherwise the pedal travel is very long due to the pistons being so much bigger
adjust the standard brake compensator valve to suit otherwise the brake bias is very rear heavy!
