Presume includes fitting, this is a fiddly job as discs tend to be rotted to the bells at the bolts and it is time consuming to beat them out and clean up. As a DIY job AP discs retail about £200 each (PF £242) plus 2x£12 for bolt set, decent pads about £150. If you're up to the DIY call Alyn at ASPerformance (0191 4103770) as he can do pattern discs that are probably better than the AP ones and save a bit of money.

Hi
If you have the P1 wheels fitted , then Brembo's will not fit under them without wheels spacers , which may cause other problems.

I can supply you my own make discs to fit your bells for £295 a pair , 24 nuts and bolts are £15 , and pads start at around £125 , could even fit it all for £75

Cheers Ian
