Riftzone; as far as discs are concerned, you will be hard pushed to find a better OE size replacement discs than the Quinton Hazell items sold here for £35.19 plus VAT each. I find these things actually perform better than some of the so-called uprate discs available.
As far as pads go, you better off getting a set of something like Mintex M1144 from Alyn or similar than you would going to a dealer and paying their prices for a set of "OE" pads of unknown origin.
It's not a difficult job by any stretch of the imagination, but OTOH the brakes are sufficiently important that it's a job you may prefer to leave to someone else unless you're confident. That said, if you do want to DIY, there's plenty of information here on exactly how to do it. If you don't want to pay dealer labour rates, any local garage should be able to do both sides in less than an hour.
