you buy pads in a set of 4, so automatically u change all 4. Discs can be bought separately, but its advised to change both in most cases.

Copper grease goes on the calipers to reduce friction durin use

Piss easy. got a copy of haynes handy? and a tube of copper grease?

Change both discs and both set of Pads. In fact mate, go onto migweb.co.uk, and pick ur self up a set of Astra GTE calipers, discs and pads, and fit them.

i started to get a kinda low pitched grinding noise today when braking...i checked ma discs and the offside disc is all scrathed on the inside. I kinda guessed i needed to get new pads when i seen this but will i have to replace the whole disc and how easy is it to change both the pads and the disc??
