the 256mm disc is standard on the golf 3 and the polo 9n . vr6 discs are 280 mm and has a different offset. your other issue is the golf 2 steering knuckles had cast caliper holders on them - they were not bolt on or off like the later models . your golf may have the correct knuckles hubs?
if not you have to change those as well. you also need to check what driveshafts you are running -if they are the the larger ones you may also need to change those ( easy - as you only need to getthe bigger outer CV joints and they fit the shafts.

I am not sure if you have already put on the 256mm disc? I believe the golf 2 gti had a 239mm ventilated disc.if not have a good look at what you knuckles/hubs you are running.
