Default Brembos

Had a nice result today !
I needed to change the front discs and pads !
Phoned around and came across Brakes international they are really cheap
Brembo discs 345mm £44 + the dreaded each and a set of pads £50
I think I've done alright with that little deal.
What you sayin willis ? Lol

Hope the pads are OK - my last set of non-Audi front pads decided to "drop" the material on one each side!
Adhesive/fixing failure I guess - the mounting plate was still there but the pad material had fallen off.

Went for OEM Audi which are NOT cheap for a set of 8 for the front.
