I’m looking for advice on what discs and pads to put on my car. The garage has told me I need new discs on the front and pads all the way around. I’m in no way a mechanic (just a driver) so simple types and places to get them from for me!! cheers ajk

strongly recommend a full caliper service before fitting expensive discs and pads....

Alcon discs are not cheap... 8)

I can vouch for this. The FRP came out of the factory with awesome brakes and over the years pikes have tried to service them their selves. Get them done properly (and I recommend El Dude) and you will understand why they made the car in the first place.

So what are the options for new front discs? If OE Alcons are the only way to go, what supplier options are there?

Cheers
