Default Where do I buy Prodrive/Alcon discs?

Do I simply go to my local dealer or is there a cheaper place? I'm considering buying them then arranging someone to fit, or is it better to just get down the dealer and get the job done.

The discs will cost you £500 from the dealers, which is pretty much the cheapest you can get them.

Lucko i wish mate, looked everywhere as my brother a set. Spoke to Alyn at A S performance and he advised that it would be easiest to get them from the dealers as he would charge the same amount. In the end found a second hand set on ebay for £250.

They are 330mm in size and that is the only odd thing about them, the material is the same as normal brake discs.
