apbrakediscs.co.uk,  I got a good deal on brembo discs and pads, sure there was a discount code for an extra something off.

Cheers. The Brembos seem cheap, expected them to be a lot more expensive.

I can't fault them, think I paid £165ish for discs and pads all round. Discount code iluvhoses, plus free p&p.

Another  :happy2: for apbrakediscs.co.uk. £190 full set of brembo discs & pads.

Pads from eBay & discs from amazon in the end (a few £ cheaper  :laugh:)
Wish i had the discount code for them direct. Shipping was very fast & free which is awesome considering the weight of the discs.

I used the TRW website to get the trade part number to cross reference. Just put in the engine code and it tells you what is fitted to your car!

VW wanted nearly £330 for the OEM ones. Thought it was worth a punt.
