Default Replacement discs- how much?

I need new front discs for MY00 as an interim before a brake upgrade.
How much are they from a dealer or are there better places to get them from?
Are they easy to fit?
thx in advance....

Well their prices have come down, but you'd still expect to pay around £100 (maybe more) for a set. It has just cost me £600 to have 4 discs and 4 sets of pads fitted to my MY01. You may find that you can fit aftermarket discs for the same or less than what your dealer will charge.

Thumbs up

Just got up this morning to answer the door to my new 4 pot brake discs arriving (via the courier of course!)

I paid £92 delivered from www.sapmotorparts.com which everyone will tell you are very good discs and in fact group n team use them and so do dealers. Just look for
Sumitomo/Vented293x24x57x5
down the list are order them.

Hope that helps
Stuart

£61 each for Subaru Discs

They are starting to get close to what I would pay now - after all you know what you are getting
