There's allways cheaper stuff (on ebay and so on).
I won't go below OEM VW, Ate, Brembo or Pagid.

Fitting brake discs and pads also is very easy if you have a skilled friend.

without much trying, for a full set of OEM VW Discs and pads, I got a price of £199.90 (inc Vat) from my VW TPS.  Seems the VW dealer is taking the wee wee.

TPS supplies VW dealers with all their OEM parts.
