I too had the Weber big bore throttle body and sewer pipe on my 83 GTI.

New Brembo front rotors. New StopTech brake pads at 75k miles
I did ATE disc's and Bosch ceramic pads. Was the cheapest for stock replacement while getting good quality.
The most significant modification I made was installing the Weber "Big Throat" throttle body. It transformed the engine, sort of like tuning a turbo today. It moved all the action down to the low rpm range so the car would scream. If you were at stop sign taking a right and hit the gas you could barely hold on to the steering wheel (it was manual) due to the massive torque steer.
Have R3's on my Golf and love them. I know, wrong forum, but we all use winter tires. Going on soon for the second season.
I just did my 2018 Front pads & rotors at 56k. -As others have done I chose Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads from Rock Auto
Liqui Moly engine flush can be beneficial if used from new to help resist oil crust building up in the oil control rings
VW water pumps have been faulty for decades with no correction for them in site, and carbon buildup will happen *no matter what.*
Back in November 2019 / ~7,500 miles ago, I installed the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Geomet Coated Rotor and Pad Kit. Well, now the rotors are warped and I need replacement rotors.
My Power Stop Evolution Z23 Rotors warped in about 6 months / 7,500 miles.
