You can do this for the MKV GTI, and my experience is that mechanically the EOS and GTI are very similar. There are kits for the GTI to upgrade to the R32 brakes, however I'm not seeing any for the EOS, but there are plenty of other big brake kits for the EOS. I would contact one of these tuners who sell the R32 kit and see what the deal is. I would be surprised if you could not do this, but you never know. They do require 18in wheels so maybe there is some space issue with the EOS?

Good luck!
