hey all,
My front and rear discs and pads are due replacing soon. Can someone please advise where I can purchase good quality discs n pads from? As the ******** are charging me £58 per disc and £25 per pad.

I have came across the below sites

http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com
https://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/

Has someone used any parts from the above sites or can some please suggest someones that match OEM brakes and discs
cheers,
Adsy

Is that including labour? I had my rear pads changed when mine was at the dealers and it was just over £100 for them to be done, not as cheap as doing it yourself but they were low (2mm) and might as well have got it done there and then.

Changing discs means about 60% more work than pads alone. So labour will affect the job more. I changed the discs and pads on a mate's GTi a couple of weaks ago and it came to about £150 parts including a brake fluid change (GSF - Brembo).

can anyone post/refer any pics?
