Default brake disc prices - expensive or wot ?

Looking at replacing my worn front and rear brake discs for Classic 96 Turbo, and was quoted £420 inclusive by Subaru dealer in Watford. Anyone recommend cheaper in the area ?

Thanks

You can get OE replacement discs for around £90 a pair. Try a motor factors.

Both Ian at Godspeed, or Alyn at ASPerformance can do you a far better price than that, Alyn's no is 0191 410 3770.... mention Scoobynet for and even better deal!!

£420?? That inculudes fitting and new pads though, doesn't it??

I bought Subaru Pads (4-pot .. yours are 2-pot) and Subaru discs for about £190 if I remember right ....... doing the job was absolutely one of the easiest jobs you could ever do on a car.
