Id say somewhere between 150 and 200 for the complete front setup!

Dont forget to get r32 hoses.  :happy2:

To be honest you will struggle to sell them for a decent price, my advice would be, keep them in the garage until you sell your new ones in the future, they will sell much easier.  :happy2:

Hi Thanks for the advice. I cant see the car going anywhere in the forseable future. We have 3 cars and this is something we bought our 22 yr old son , After reading how poor the stock brakes are and asking him he said a couple off times it seamed like it wasn't going to stop, hence the Wife giving me orders to sort it ASAP.

I wont change them back and leave some one with brakes that ain't up to scratch .

so if it just a few quid and does someone a favour thats fine .

Thanks as always Paul
