My usual joking aside here
I have warped front discs! I have been quoted £387.75 all in for:
Front Discs and black diamond pads.. or is it black diamond dics (discs even) and pads.
Anyway - does this sound fair?
My breaks are standard 2 pot (I know, dont say it)...
Ron... what you reckon?

Agree with Alyn (and he knows what he's talking about) - I would have thought around £200 ish for discs and pads, with fitting on top. I would suggest finding some yourself - AS Performance (Alyn's company I think) or ScoobyMania do good prices, and then sorting out fitting yourself, either DIY with some mates, or a local garage.
Best of luck.

Broken down, it was £200 for the discs - £87 for the pads (all 4 wheels I believe) and then labour at £80 plus VAT on the lot.
I guess looking at it this way, it all sounds ok then doesnt it
Aren't scoobies expensive. I paid £20 for a disc on my old escort

Are you getting two discs or four ? £200 for 4 is good, £200 for 2 is bad, unless they're super-dooper upgraded items of course. Still might be worth your while ringing round for prices on parts yourself, then getting this garage to fit for you for the quoted £80 + VAT.
Hope you get it sorted for the best price

Sounds excessive to me!! was that from the place you've used before??
you could get them fitted cheaper than that from a certain around these parts!!! possibly even outside your very own house!

No SG, I don't have your number, if you were to get the bit's, I can then fit them basically at your convenience, but more than likely at a weekend!!
You can mail me at impreza_dood@yahoo.co.uk if you wish!

Soulgirl,
I had the same problem, replaced with Mintex 8 grove discs and Mintex 1166 pads, on my 22b, by Triton. £172 for the discs and £110 for pads ex vat and labour. So far so good. Will see how they hold up on track in March.
