If you just want standard ones, Your probably not looking at more than 70 nuggets.
Pads should be about £20 and £50 for the Discs.

I'm just saying that on the basis of that is what my dad paid for new Pads and Discs for his Peugeot 405. Can't see it varying too much.

cheers kris, will go and check out some options. Possible some Black Diamond jobbies and GM pads. my brakes are 256mm standard so plenty big enough for now.

Sounds good then Paul. Personally i think GM pads and discs are very good. especially the pads. A lot of members on MIG swear by the OE GM pads.

The GTE discs are better at removing heat than the GSi/Sport 1.6 discs,

Just remember to not brake hard for first 200miles as you risk warping the discs. Also if fitting yourself remember they are coating in a grease.
