If you can stomach the cost Performance Friction are a superb up-grade. I have them on mine ! Godspeed may be able to supply a cheaper alternative, or there will be all manner of cheap 'n' cheerful bargain bits out there.

You choose !

If you want to keep the cost down get standard plain discs from a local motor factor for £120-130 pair. (or online from carparts-direct or brakepartssuperstore). Get some decent pads such as DS2500 or RS421 (from Alyn at ASPerformance 0191 4103770), this will give excellent results for non track use for less than £300 all in. As Dunx says the PF stuff is excellent but you will be beyond £600 for that kit.

Sorry just seen front and back, my prices were just for front. Motor factor rear discs are about £150 pair (more expensive because of combined brake drums) and another £80 for decent rear pads.

Hi
I can supply you our one piece grooved front discs for £150 a pair , and our 2 piece grooved front discs and bells for £295 a pair.
Our rear grooved discs are £170 a pair , and all come with a 12 month guarantee against warping even if you do track days

I can supply you pads which are all uprated from standard materials , these start at £65 for fronts and £50 for rears , better pads for the harder driver and track dayer will be nearer double these figures.

Cheers Ian
