Gls driveshafts do fit onto a GTI gearbox but do not fit into the gti hubs as the splines are too small.

I don't know if you can swap the gti brakes onto the gls hubs, I just swapped the full lot over then found out driveshafts were different.

By all means try it, I was in a bit of a rush when I did it and there was a reason I didn't try the calipers, was either the bolts holding the caliper on were FT or there was something blindingly obvious but i've slept since then.
