Apparently. Look at the cars using more or less the same rear disc brake setup as on your car, and you'll find almost everything VAG made until at least turn of the century - with only exceptions being UrS4/UrS6, RS2, B5 RS4 and probably S4, and, in C5q at some stage rear disc size crept up by 1 centimetre; vented rear discs being used, again, only on V8 cars. And these are much heavier cars than yours. If you want to do something to the rear brakes, apart from discs and pads, check the caliper piston size and if it's 36 mm, go for calipers with 38 mm pistons.
In case the car is being built for heavy track use, then, surely, go for vented discs.
