Keep a close eye on the drilled holes in them disks. They have a habit of cracking ! Grooved are fine, but drilled have a bad history on Scoobs as they are a heavy car putting a lot of energy through the brakes.
Detango looks good

How long is a piece of string ? Do you use the brakes a lot ?
When I was a novice driver I used to get 20-25k out of standard disks and 7-10k out of pads. Since learning Roadcraft I hardly ever use brakes and expect to get 40k out of pads and never want to have to replace disks. A smooth driver with good hazard awareness, anticipation and planning should only need to brake if they have made a mistake, someone else does something stupid, or you are coming to a complete stop. Apart from that speed should be modulated using the gears to keep the car balanced and in good control even at excessive speeds.
